“As you face the challenges that lie before you, you must never ask, ‘Am I equal to these demands?’ Ask rather, ‘How will I draw forth what I need from the treasury of prayer? How far down in the well of my being must I reach to draw forth from the reserves of faith and love and wisdom all that I require to successfully complete this journey or this task?’
“I set no obstacle before you to defeat you or stop you in your tracks. As a stone in the water raises the level of the water so that it flows over its top, or directs the course of the water toward another path—just so, nothing can withstand the patience and the resourcefulness of prayer. Nothing can defeat the power of prayer.
“You will learn this by doing it. Prayer is the only true teacher from one eon to the next. So have no fear—and never give in or give up. I am praying within you and right beside you, now and forevermore.”
