Today's thin slice of bread focuses on the need to persevere in prayer, even though the answer seems to be hidden under a rock. The classic example is the twenty year prayer of Monica for the conversion of her son, Augustine. How many of us would persevere for twenty years? Yet, the conversion came, and it ways mighty. He became a bishop for the next 40 or so years. She died soon after his baptism, her mission in life accomplished. Sometimes the wait is that long, other times the answer comes at the most unplanned time, such as on a walk when grace floods in and overflows with tears...of joy, of realization that God has been there all the time. Gratitude of huge proportions follows... Moral: STAY WITH IT, for we know not the day nor the hour when the answer will come.
