" My Mother's Prayer"
Jesus, I know You, but not as I would
Jesus, I love You, but not as I should
Let me draw nearer, enfolded in Thee,
Until those who know me, will also know Thee
Work in my heart, Lord, Work in my life
Make me what You want as friend, mother, wife
Change me -- Keep changing, Show me my sin
Burn out the dross; Revive me again!

How beautiful! It’s prayers like this, prayed by wives, mothers, and friends across America in its youth that made America such a great Nation. General Patton made the statement that the prayers of wives and mothers during World War II did more to win the war than all the weapons and ammunition used throughout the entire war. When I was in Vietnam, my mother sent me a prayer, scribbled out on a piece of composition notebook paper. I carried it with me the entire time I was there. Then, after I came home, I continued to carry it in my billfold for years. Finally, near Christmas one year, without my knowing it, my oldest son took it out of my billfold and had his wife cross-stitch the entire prayer. What my mother had written on that paper was falling apart and almost unreadable. He and my nephew made a frame for it and framed it for me that Christmas. Can you imagine how pleased I was with it? Well, of course you know.
Blessings to you, my friend,
