God answers prayers but He does not do magic,
still He with joy rewards the one who prays,
we can't just pray away the sad and tragic,
but God rewards in faith the one who stays.
Our prayers do work but they're not automatic,
we don't just get the things for which we pray,
God's answers sometimes have a little static,
our priceless prayers can have a price to pay.
Prayer may not seem sometimes to be effective,
clear prayer will usually not have clear effect,
this fallen world is clearly so defective,
God's choice and mystery we must respect.
I trust someday Your answer will be clear,
if I sincere, Lord, pray and persevere.
