the evil which I would not, that I do.

saith, With men it is impossible, but not with
God: for with God all things are possible.

to the care of God, as we understood HIM

on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be
possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not
as I will, but as You will.

way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

another human being the exact nature of
our wrongs
GOD
