My momma also said those words before every meal that she ate. My mother taught me by example to persevere. She taught me that things would work out in God's time, not mine. She told me to hold on to His hand no matter what, and that is what I did as a child, and that is what I do as an adult. He has been faithful to me, y'all. Having said that, I will leave you with two small poems for the day.
In Thee, Oh Lord, I Put My Trust
A poem of praise to the GODHEAD
From a little speck of dust
In YOU, I put all of my trust
To prosper and protect me
Wherever I am lead.

Renewal
Prayer renews my strength
Day by day
As I struggle to walk in
This Christian way.
When you have been in
Prayerful contact with God
There is a serenity that holds you
No matter where your footsteps may trod.
-excerpt from DEI Sub Numine Viget

I hope that the fervor that I have used in discussing prayer this month has made you want to get on an intimate basis with God.
After today there will be four more lessons of recap on prayer, and then this series of lessons will be over. In March we start on another subject.
Doing What I Can, While I Can Because I Care,
