Yes He does. I should thinks is a fine entry in the 5-5-5 contest. The rhyming was a bonus. It will be interesting to see how this fares - a rhyme with a message - against those of the Haiku camp that favor non-rhyming lines of imagery, mood and nature. Best of luck.

Excellent entry for the 5-5-5 writing prompt contest. Good spiritual message.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Good luck in the contest.

Amen! Great job expressing this truth in so brief a poem plus rhyming all three lines. And often life is in disarray but God has it all in His Hands. Best wishes in the contest!

Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. Not only when one kneels in prayer does God hear one's words, He know what's in one's heart. I enjoyed reading.
