This is a prayer from the book "The Prayers of Peter Marshall." It seems to me it is a great prayer for the beginning of the work week.
I think this prayer answers the question of how much do we depend on God and how much on ourselves. It seems to me it's a matter of knowing not to turn our own responsibilities over to God, but to know that he is there to help us have the strength to fulfill our responsibilities. Our strength will be in proportion to our faith.
I haven't written on this blog for a long time, because I've gotten so involved in one of my other blogs, which is called "
Old Woman on a Bicycle." I actually have followers on that blog, so that makes me take more of an interest in it. However, after putting down "Ulysses" for a long time, I'm back to reading again, so I think I will be adding to the posts I've already written on "Ulysses." Also my interest in current politics is sliding away. The Republicans and Romney makes me so angry that I've just started avoiding listening to political commentary any more. Although, after the Supreme Court decision on Obamacare, I was reved up enough to donate online $4 each to Obama and Gillibrand. Take that Mr. Romney.
