If there were things that I asked God for and I knew it wasn’t best
There have been times when I felt like He didn’t care
There have been times when I feel like I know what I want
So many times I ask God for things that will only hurt me
So many times I get angry because I can’t fully see
If only I could eliminate uncertainty from my life
Worryin’ about things only ties me up in knots
Tryin’ to figure out the reasons, leaves me empty inside
Searchin’ for the answers, longin’ for my home

I know that when I pray my prayers are answered
Maybe not the way I thought
My prayers are answered according to His plan
Sometimes its exactly what we ask for sometimes its something more
So next time I offer up a prayer, I’ll remember to put my trust in Him
So many different questions, even more left unspoken
But I know that my God, will be there thick or thin
