Ask And Ye Shall Receive! Poem by Denis Martindale

To those most favoured of us all, the Lord grants favour still,
Through every brand new miracle, according to His will,
Such that the devil quakes in fear regarding holy men
Beloved by God and held most dear, in ways beyond our ken.
Who counts the signs and wonders seen, or heard about at length,
Or praises God when He proves keen to demonstrate His strength?

Who kneels in prayer and full of faith requesting God to move,
To act with love and then to save lost souls that must improve?
Yet there are multitudes right now, unseen, their names unknown,
Who to the Lord will daily bow, approaching Heaven's Throne.
And those upon the Lord still smiles receive as they believe
Despite the evil that beguiles each person to deceive.

When God responds, with utmost grace, who then stands in His way?
And that is why the Human Race has some who love to pray.
