Why Don't They Pray?

It's somewhat sad and somewhat strange To hear some say GOD KNOWS! And yet through doubts they seldom change Despite their highs and lows. Most of the time God sees the range Of triumphs, tests and woes, And asks, Why don't they pray? It's somewhat odd when evil's near With some folks ill-at-ease, Aware of things that bring them fear As if they'll never cease. And yet the God some scoff and jeer, Who's willing to bring peace, Then asks, Why don't they pray? It's somewhat hard to understand Why prayer should get ignored, When God improves on what they've planned For them to get restored. When healings He gives out by hand, Why is it that our Lord Still asks, Why don't they pray? Denis Martindale, for the 18th of January 2024. The Prayer poem got shared on Revelation TV's Prayer Time Live show on the 23rd of January 2024.
