Our Prayers Break on God
by Luci Shaw
Our prayers break on God like waves,
and he an endless shore,
and when the seas evaporate and oceans are no more
and cries are carried in the wind
God hears and answers every sound
as he has done before.
Our troubles eat at God like nails.
He feels the gnawing pain
on souls and bodies.
He never fails
but reassures he’ll heal again
, again, again, again and yet again.
“Our Prayers Break On God” by Luci Shaw
from Eye of the Beholder.
