Written by Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), 16th President of the United States.
I have been driven many times to my knees in the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for that day. If the Lord did not answer my prayer I could not stand it. And if I did not believe in a God who works His will with nations, I should despair of the republic.
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the se, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. [James 1:5-8]. no fear, but fear is driven out by perfect love [1 John 4:18]
