Blogging Ottinger (tim)Wisdom, Courage, Patience, and Prayer
I think probably that most of the trouble we deal with is best handled with a good combination of wisdom, courage, patience, and prayer. And I fear that lacking any one of these, most of our problems will just get worse. Drop wisdom and one becomes foolhardy. Drop courage and nothing changes. Drop patience and you find yourself acting too hastily, even if your are otherwise wise and courageous. And then there’s prayer… partly because some problems are too big for us, and partly because we need to ask for patience, courage, and wisdom.
