A PRAYER by EDNA MAY APPLEGATE

First Line: DEAR LORD, TEACH ME HOW TO PRAY
Last Line: "NOT MY OWN . . . MY FATHER'S WILL."
Subject(s): PRAYER;
Dear Lord, teach me how to pray
That I might progress day by day
In Thy truth alway.

May I become as a little child
In thought, so meek and undefiled,
Thus delivering from errors wild.

And the answer came
In the quiet still,
"Not my own . . . My Father's will."
