Let Me Find Strength

Help me in my weakness, Lord.
Do not let my fears, terrors and anxieties conquer me.
Let me find that strength that you promise to
those who suffer for the sake of righteousness,
and let me boast only of the cross of your Son.

-- from Saint Paul: Called to Conversion

Running Away

You cannot run away from a weakness;
you must sometimes fight it out or perish.
And if that be so, why not now,
and where you stand?
-- Robert Louis Stevenson
