I'm reading a book right now called, How I Know God Answers Prayer, by Rosalind Goforth ,1921. It is their family's memoirs of answered prayer in their lives. They were missionaries in China and these are some of the times God showed Himself to be all-powerful, all-knowing and full of grace. This is a poem from the book .
"He answered prayer: so sweetly that I stand,
Amid the blessing of His wondrous hand,
And marvel at the miracles I see,
The favours that His love hath wrought upon me.
Pray on for the impossible and dare,
Upon thy banner, this brave motto bare,
'My Father answers prayer.'"
It's not the most poetic,fluid and beautiful poem in the world, but after reading the ways God worked miracles in their life, I tried to understand from their perspective, after all those times and trails, how these words came from her heart and how humble and inspiring she was.
He has worked miracles in all of our lives and how many more He wants to give if we would just be ready to receive them from ready, obedient and faithful hearts,lives and attitudes.
