(God’s Sonnet by Timothy J. Verret; “it’s how I cope to hope in God helping me to count to 4 this daily leavened bread”)

1. Pray: You have to ask God for what you need.
2. Tell me: You have to listen for what God speaks.
3. Do it: You have to do what God decreed.
4. Amen: You have to thank God. You reached peaks.

1. Pray: I have to beg God to love me more.
2. Tell me: I have to quiet “me” to hear “yes.”
3. Do it: I have to love not as a chore.
4. Amen: I have to rest. I reached “confess.”

1. Pray: “I hear every word the humble say.”
2. Tell me: “I whisper to them, ‘a kind touch.'”
3. Do it: “I’m always with them come what may.”
4. Amen: “I’m thankful they reached me that much.”

We get tired when we have to count to 10.

God counts 4: 1. Pray 2. Tell me 3. Do it 4. Amen.
