“Let him never cease from prayer, who has once begun to pray, even though his life is ever so bad. For prayer is the only way to amend one's life and without prayer it will never be mended. Let him not be tempted of the devil, as I was, to give up prayer on account of one's unworthiness. Let such a one rather believe that if he will only repent and pray, our Lord will still hear and answer.” IfsWayGivingBelieveStillsLife IsPrayerAnswersLordPrayingGiving UpDevilAccountsCeaseTemptedRepentOur Lord Author:Teresa of Avila

And no American ever hears or reads of a soldier’s death without saying a silent prayer for the dead hero or thinking of the grief of the family and friends.

But all said and done, it is our responsibility to see that (1) we never put our troops in situations where they are subject to unnecessary risk, and (2) we give them all our support at all times.” ThinkingMenGivingDoneDreamPresidentPrayerGriefResponsibilitySituationSupportRiskHeroTerribleSilentSoldierAll TimeUnnecessaryFamily And FriendsOur TroopsSense Of Responsibility Author:George W.
