This is what it is to be human: to strive in the face of the certainty of failure. This is what it is to be human: to persist.

Stephen CraneMind how you pray. Make real business of it. Let it never be a dead formality...plead the promise in a truthful, business-like way...Ask for what you want, because the Lord has promised it.
