To God

I had a long prayer list
I was eager to engage in asking
So many issues to be sorted
But the Lord wants to be praised
 
You can horridly prepare a meal
And your guest will be pleased...
Not knowing the effort you put into it
If God wants praise; He knows how it’s prepared
 
You can package a damaged gift
And present it anonymously
The receiver may not know who gave it
God knows the content and the giver
 
You can deceive with a broad smile
It is to hide hurt; shame, envy etc.
To everyone you are such a great person
Behind the feigned smile God sees the heart
 
Every word on my prayer list God knows
The need I don’t know exist; He sees
Unpleasantness i am ignorant of; He’s averted
From me He wants praise
 
Praise is in your natural abode Most High
You are constantly seeking adoration
No wonder the trees constantly bow
I believe all animals have a way of worshipping
 
To man your most prized creation
Who’s made in your image and likeness…
Who also seeks gratefulness and affirmation…
Who abhors complainers and grumblers…
 
We should know and do better
You like me may have much request
But Abba seeks worship first
Like me endeavor to give Him His due
  ...Hallelujah. To God Most High     …tejuwrite….
