Prayer [Lean on thyself until thy strength is tried]

Title:     Prayer [Lean on thyself until thy strength is tried]
Author: Ella Wheeler Wilcox [More Titles by Wilcox]

Lean on thyself until thy strength is tried;
Then ask God's help; it will not be denied.

Use thine own sight to see the way to go;
When darkness falls ask God the path to show.

Think for thyself and reason out thy plan;
God has His work and thou hast thine, oh, man.

Exert thy will and use it for control;
God gave thee jurisdiction of thy soul.

All thine immortal powers bring into play;
Think, act, strive, reason, then look up and pray.

[The end]
Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem: Prayer
