Oh, how this poem has reached my heart this morning! Our hope is in the first line; O Changeless God! O, to be in this body of flesh and to feel the battle between despair and hope. <br><br>Joe, thanks for posting this. <br><br>God's hearing of our prayers doth not depend upon sanctification, but upon Christ's intercession; not upon what we are in ourselves, but what' we are in the Lord Jesus; both our persons and our prayers are acceptable in the beloved [Eph 1.6]. Thomas Brookes

Trust the past to God's mercy, the present to God's love and the future to God's providence." - St. Augustine
