Prayer is the lisping of the believing infant, the shout of the fighting believer, the requiem of the dying saint falling asleep in Jesus. It is the breath, the watchword, the comfort, the strength, the honour of a Christian. If thou be a child of God, thou wilt seek thy Father's face, and live in thy Father's love. Pray that this year thou mayst be holy, humble, zealous, and patient; have closer communion with Christ, and enter oftener into the banqueting-house of His love. Pray that thou mayst be an example and a blessing unto others, and that thou mayst live more to the glory of thy Master. The motto for this year must be, "Continue in prayer."

Krista,
A new friend of mine recommended that I check out your blog and I've been so touched and encouraged by what and how you share. It is good to know that I'm not alone in some of my journeys. A friend had given me that Tielhard de Chardin poem a few years ago. When I re-read it here, I was so greatly encouraged and have posted it beside my bedroom mirror for daily reading.
May you be blessed and receive all that you need on your path.
Carla
