The day was long, The burden I had borne seemed heavier than I
could longer bear and then it lifted-but I did not know some one had
knelt in prayer; had taken me to God that very hour, and asked
the easing of the load, and He, in infinite compassion, had stooped
down and taken it from me. We cannot tell how often as we pray
for some bewildered one, hurt and distressed, the answer comes, but
many times those hearts find sudden peace and rest. Some one
had prayed, and faith, a reaching hand, took hold of God, and
brought Him down that day!
So many, many hearts have need of prayer. Oh, let us pray!
-St. Maximilian Kolbe |
