This I Know

My father-in-law gave me this poem this morning after class:

This I Know

I know not by what methods rare,
But this I know - God answers prayer.
I know that He has given His Word,
Which tells me prayer is always heard.
And will be answered, soon or late,
And so, I pray and calmly wait.

I know not if the blessing sought
Will come in just the way I thought,
But leave my prayers with Him alone,
Whose will is wiser than my own -
Assured that He will grant my quest,
Or send some answer far more blest.

Thanks Ray and happy birthday.
