I present my requests

Not anxiously.

Presently my requests

Include family.

Whereas

The Lord's peaceable requests

Ask for my abilities

To fulfill His quests

Being all I can be.

Whereas

Prayer and petition

May get His attention

But praise and thanksgiving

Is the final quest - rejoicing.

 

Transcend with shielded mind.

Understand our earthly requests.

When finding oneself in a bind

God hears, answers, and sends us

On His heavenward quests.

 

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition,  with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6
