“If there is but one prayer that we should pray, it should be only this one: "Guide my hope away from all that I should not hope in and bridle my trust so that I trust in only what I can trust in. May I have a mind calm and serenely resting in the knowledge that my hope and my trust will never mislead me." A short and simple prayer, and the only one we really need to be praying.” HopePrayerTrustWise WordsWisdom QuotesPrayer QuotesGuidance In LifeGuidance For LifeA Prayer Author:C. JoyBell C.
