In His time, God's will be done
It happens to, for everyone
Prayers are answered
Be faithful and true
This is what you must do?
Don't sit around or sleep in late
Make phone calls, avoid your fate
Bank every cent lying around
Keep thy feet firmly on the ground
Live each day, normal as can be
Minister faithfully to family needs
Reach out happily to others' wants
And stay busy planting God's seeds
Thoughts are prayers
Trust the next dollar will come
Even though bills are piling
Believe you won't come undone
God's plan brings windfalls
Enough to pay debts outstanding
And in awe of His grace
Thank Him for His love unbounding
Love is patient, love is kind
Faith and hope are blessings too
God's never let anyone down before
He loves us, He always come through!

Dear Petratani,
I love your poem very much. Your faith in God is very strong. He does hear our prayers.
I never worry about money anymore as something always turns up when I am short and my Dad is very good, I don't have to ask, he always seems to know when I need some cash. Beautifully written my friend.

Dear Petratani
Prayer's are heard when help is needed and those needs are met. It's amazing how when you need money it always appears.
Very beautifully written my friend.

Faith is wonderful, it makes life richer and I think it brings luck too. It is a basis for continuing optimism as you show clearly in your verse. I enjoyed this, the positive attitude is contagious! Best of luck in the voting.

Inspired to think...
And how many others may also have been praying for you? I have no doubt that they also helped. I have seen it many times, when we just remember, however briefly, a "Please help her through this," as short a prayer as that, they all count.
The prayers we pray sustain
many others too, not only us.
So many others still retain
more than we do, in perilous
circumstance, far more need
than our own.
. . . . . . . . No prayers are
left to chance when we heed
how, shown mercy, my own far
less urgent needs were met
without even asking.
. . . . . . . . . . . . Taken
care of gently, do not forget
heavyladen friends, forsaken,
much more in need. Prayers
are sweeter if for others.
I am glad.
All best wishes.

Dear Whoever-you-are
Have faith in GOD, trust in His might
and all your troubles will come right.
When you feel hopeless and forlorn
there always is another dawn.
And, as you face a bright, new day
and lift your heart to GOD and pray,
you'll feel your problems melt away.
Believe the truth of what I say.
Throughout the night, while you're asleep,
your difficulties GOD will sweep
aside and, if your faith you keep,
He'll solve them all - however deep.
BELIEVE and PRAY! ALL WILL BE WELL!
Believe the truth of what I tell.
~~~
And don't forget to THANK HIM!!
Good luck in the contest and in your life.
Applause and thanks for a fine entry.
Love and hugs, XXX Hugh (R.)

"God has always come through"!
Your ability to do what you can and trust in God to help beyond your capacity is an example. A challenge also to those who think we can do it all ourselves. A very large group as it embraces all of us most likely at some point in our lives.
I am glad things have worked out for you and you have been able to receive that which you and your family need. You have given back through your sharing of this poem which causes those of us who read to rejoice also. All the best to you today dear sister. Your brother Jadon

My Dear Niece Petra,
It's wonderful how when you need money it seems to come to you and how wonderful to be able to pay the bills when that happens.
A wonderful poem you have written my dear Niece.
Love Aunty Joan

Dearest Aunty Joan
I am pleased to say that I relax more when I don't have money because I trust in God and know he will pull me through, even when it comes to the crunch. I always remember than He clothes the flowers and the trees and even provides for the ant so He will definitely take care of little ol' me as long as I am faithful to Him.
Hugs and love,
Your loving niece,
Petratani
