Perseverance

As we talked to the boys about III John, 
We spoke of the need to succor 
Those spreading the Gospel of Christ.

Prayers for encouragement, protection, 
Perseverance.
Phil asked Abraham: if you’re doing your math,

And it’s not going very well,
Is your inclination to do more math,
Or to give up and walk away?

That night Isaiah prayed a lovely prayer at dinner, 
Asking for God’s spirit to be at work.
He had clearly paid attention and remembered.

The next night, Abraham prayed,
Asking God to give perseverance to our missionaries. 

He had clearly paid attention and remembered.
