Increase your strength through prayer

Let us pray for health and strength and wisdom.  Pray for faith to carry on when our strength seems insufficient, and the answer is delayed.  Let our prayers go out as well as upward.  We must work as well as pray.  Let us pray for peace and concord, in our hearts, our homes, and country... Prayer will rid our hearts of hatred; it will chasten our ambitions... Let us pray.  (Hugh B. Brown, Eternal Quest, 1956, p 81)
