When you get into a tight place, and everything goes against you
till it seems as if you couldn't hold on a minute longer, never give
up then, for that's just the time and place that the tide will turn.
--Harriet Beecher Stowe.
I cannot do it alone,
The waves run fast and high,
And the fogs close chill around,
And the light goes out in the sky;
But I know that we two
Shall win in the end--
God and I.
--Unknown.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not.
--Hebrews 10. 23.
Almighty God, I pray that thou wilt sustain me when I may be enduring
for a purpose, and to accomplish it seems beyond my strength. Renew me
with courage, and give me unceasing hope, and faith that is able to
hold out to the end. Amen.
