Is there anything so satisfying as answered prayer...? I think not. Let's Press-on.....

*Imploring...* Take me through...Sweet Jesus help me stand...against the plough Take me through...Sweet Jesus please be my help...here and now If I am to stand today...Sweet Jesus Thou alone must give me...all the strength Take me through, please ...Sweet Jesus Thou my keeper, ever since *Receiving...* When He comes... the air, that vibrant life giving source is stilled...we 'breathe'... Him. Joy...to an extent thought unattainable flows in abundantly... as He invades our isolated places razing despondency's darkness. When He comes... the glow from heaven's lights are shamed... even the glisten from millions of dust particles cannot shadow...the Bright and Morning Star! His entrance... saturates in such unpronouncable ways that chains... heavy with life's assaults... are shattered... spirit, mind, body and soul are revived. And you know... anyone could have visited anyone... could have offered a word... or two...of encouragement, but none could have touched...so deep none...could have filled...so complete no, none... could have satisfied your yearning to the depths of splendor... so pronounced which can only* be experienced...* when God...Answers...our Prayers *PSALM 40:1-3* copyright; joyce m bell/2009

Sturdy masterpiece written in liturgical style which chapels the altar with a sense of purpose and power. Imploring...Receiving, I envision lying upon the sacred altar table with chalice and white ostrich plume quill as religious affirmation penned on parchment made as an offering by Joyce Bell...your work points to the new visual religious language which eventually leads to professional literary religious works, Joyce...it's a spiritually liberating piece...Blessed Be.

Warmly,
Sage

... He took you through, Joyce! Most beautifully! :)) Love the awe and breathless exhilaration and energy that is also so delicately expressed in your second part. Indeed, nothing is as awe-inspiring as the experience of answered prayer. You put this wonderfully. xx

Anyone, any time, that had stop to think that pain received when on the cross can start to fathom the immensity of it.

Words created like prayers
Pray I do still asking for others and my health
and wake I do another day
to once again thank God.
Thank you Joyce for all your wonderful writing
Love & peace be with you
