thought of those who came to pray for

mothers who came for strength and
courage. As ! looked around / saw
men and women still kneellng In prayer.
For what were they praying? Perhaps

A prayer for myself and mine, for those
who minister in It's true sense, and for
those who worship. not only here but
everywhere. What may be their prayer
who enter here when We are here no
more?
Most sincerely,
