Unanswered Prayers
Lord Jesus,
It was when OTHERS prayed over me that I felt the love of your Holy Spirit flow down upon me, and my tears flowed as rivers at the joy and love I felt. Perhaps it is well that I feel no such response to MY prayers.
I need to know that I am no special child of yours, that, perhaps, you love others more. Then maybe I’ll work harder, I’ll pray more often and more seriously, I’ll listen more closely to your words, your actions, your little nod, and your quiet smile, that I might learn to do what is pleasing to you. Then I might try all the harder with the gifts you have given me (which I don’t appreciate at all!) to love you more.
