“I tell you, Rebecca, I wouldn’t pray anymore for his life; your prayers are before him, and he will give you that answer if, for Frank’s sake and yours, he can. Now I would ask for grace, ‘grow in grace,’ you know. Ask for grace to suffer so that his name may be honored. It is given to you to show what a Christian can bear from the hand that loves her; how she can trust still. The chance is yours; you can’t do it, but he will do it through you, if you will let him. Don’t struggle any more; rest.”
