There’s a bit of verse in the form of a prayer that I think is appropriate:
Slow me down, Lord.
Ease the pounding of my heart
by the quieting of my mind,

I am neither a liberal theologian nor a feminist believing that God is both Father and Mother to us, but many of the finest traits of motherhood we find in Him who is our Everlasting Father. Jesus, our Everlasting Father, uses the imagery of a mother hen in describing his desire to care for the

SOLA FIDE: BY FAITH ALONE
To prove his point Paul includes a quotation from Habakkuk 2:4, "The just shall live by faith." It was this text--quoted by Paul in Romans 1:17--that ultimately shook Martin Luther to the core and brought him to saving faith in Jesus Christ. On this point, I quote from a

I’m Not Growing Old
They say that I am growing old
I’ve heard them say it times untold
In language plain and bold

But I’m not growing old.
What if my hair has turned gray
Gray hair is honorable, they
