The Divine Will

Strengthen me to pray with the conviction
that whatever I receive is thy gift,
so that I may pray until prayer be granted,
Teach me to believe that all degrees of mercy arise
from several degrees of prayer,
that when faith is begun it is imperfect and must grow,
as chapped ground opens wider and wider until rain comes

So shall I wait thy will, pray for it to be done,
and by thy grace become fully obedient

The Divine Will, The Valley of Vision
