144:2.5&6
“Let me tell you the story of a certain judge who lived in a wicked city. This judge feared not God nor had respect for man. Now there was a needy widow in that city who came repeatedly to this unjust judge, saying, ‘Protect me from my adversary.’ For some time he would not give ear to her, but presently he said to himself: ‘Though I fear not God nor have regard for man, yet because this widow ceases not to trouble me, I will vindicate her lest she wear me out by her continual coming.’ These stories I tell you to encourage you to persist in praying and not to intimate that your petitions will change the just and righteous Father above. Your persistence, however, is not to win favor with God but to change your earth attitude and to enlarge your soul’s capacity for spirit receptivity.
“But when you pray, you exercise so little faith. Genuine faith will remove mountains of material difficulty which may chance to lie in the path of soul expansion and spiritual progress.”

Faith Expansion
Another rainy spring-like day.
I’ll journey far upon my way.
Many things to do today.
At days and there will be play.

First, I’ll work and get things done.
Then I’ll try to have some fun.
Go downtown and see some friends
God exists, His love I’llsend.

Extend the Love of God to all.
That Inner pull, that inner call.
Do the next best thing you can.
Be aware and understand.

The more you know, the less you’re sure.
As Faith develops, see It cure.
Faith within –the Love of God.
Faith will cure against all odds.

The winds of Faith, push you along.
There is a flow, do you belong?
A wind of change is in the air.
Change can bring pain, I’m aware.

I pray that Good can come about.
We all choose good, but different routes.
Perspectives vary like opinions.
Try to think, are we all minions?

Thank You, Father, Faith we can
Exercise and then expand
To all and every situation.
Even conflicts between nations.
