8/31/11 "THOU INCOMPREHENSIBLE BUT PRAYER-HEARING GOD,"----that first line (Valley of Vision, p. 11) hooked me yesterday. It was another affirmation that I might be struggling with "perfect prayer" but God....takes me as I am.
"To Thee I come in my difficulties, neccessitites, distresses;
possess me with Thyself,
with a spirit of grace and supplication,
with a prayerful attitude of mind,
with access into warmth of fellowship,
so that in my ordinary concerns of life my thoughts and desires may arise to Thee and in habitual devotion I may find a resource that will soothe my sorrows, sanctify my successes, and qualify me with all my dealings with my fellow man."
So much more in that short page that spoke to my concerns about my prayer life. A page out of a book that was Martha Bank's gift to our summer book club group. A gift from a real prayer warrior to a "wannabe" prayer warrior----a gift that is helping me in my prayer pursuit. May I find glory in this valley.
