persevere

 

 

 

Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.

Robert Louis Stevenson

My mother’s mother… the very definition of persevere.

worship

 I arise today Through a mighty strength: God’s power to guide me, God’s might to uphold me, God’s eyes to watch over me; God’s ear to hear me, God’s word to give me speech, God’s hand to guard me, God’s way to lie before me, God’s shield to shelter me, God’s host to secure me. (Gaelic blessing)
