Prayer

EUNICE M. BRONSON

To learn the truth concerning God and man,And with this truth in mind, if need be, standUnwavering, with pure triumphant faith,Through days or even months of strife, or faceWith undisturbed serenity and calmApparent victory of sin or wrong,And with assurance say, Thy will be done,Because you know His perfect law of loveCannot be mocked—to silence self and fear,And wait in peace His way and hour—is prayer.

Omnipresence
