Prayers

Just couldn’t get that missive of yours out of my head so I wrote the following

Warehouse of blessings

“Heaven is full of answers to prayers
that no one has ever asked.”

[Billy Graham]

Has Jesus got a warehouse
Storing prayers not asked?
He’s already prepared the answer,
Knew the need,
They are they just waiting to be delivered,
He’s ready with the invoice
(No charge)
and delivery note?
He knows your zip/post code
And have the delivery angels
Ready 24/7
To deliver your prayer request

Has Jesus got a warehouse
Full of blessings
Waiting to go?
Are the shelves full to busting
Cos we won’t let go,
Hands filled with clutter
Blessings passed their sell by date?
Are we looking for a new revelation
Are there blessingys going to waste?
Is there a special warehouse
Where ‘treasures stored up in heaven’ are held?
Waiting for the faithful
To reap their heavenly reward?
Is it full to busting,
Gone out of fashion,
Superseded by good works?

Are there many different warehouses
In Gods heavenly store
Ready and waiting
To deliver what’s asked?
There are special offers
For whoever asks
Are you expecting Gods latest
Or is is it going dusty
Languishing on the shelf?

That is one of the best topical poetry I've ever read. I suspect you have perfected your style of writing over the years.
EXCELLENT.🙌
