Response to Hannah's Story

As if I could ask too much
Of the One who holds all resources
As if I could ask the impossible
Of the One who knows nothing of that word
As if I could ask for the wrong thing
From the One who refines my desires
Ridiculous.

I'm asking for more
Healing, power, unity, peace
I'm expecting more
Yeses, nos, waits. . . . wait
Knowing that He delights in my asking
Communes with my reaching
Responds before my thoughts form
Incredible.

Dedicating His answers back to His service
I'll ask for more
Until the desert floods
Mountains lay flat
Every knee bows
And every tongue confesses
Amen.
