When our prayers seem unanswered...

"Someday 

we will understand 

that God has a reason

 

behind every

"no" 

He gives us

 

through the course

 

of our lives. "

If God says no to our prayer, dear heart,

And the clouds hang heavy and dull and gray;

If the rough rocks hinder and block the way,

While the sharp winds pierce us and sting with cold;

Yet, dear, there is home at the journey's end,

And these are the trials the Father does send,

To draw us as sheep to His Heavenly fold,

If God says no to our prayer, dear heart.
