Suffering Scripture Quotes

Robert G. Ingersoll

Edward T. Welch

#4. Prayer Against the Darkness
Shekhina
Pray for us now
bound with scripture
and shielded with shawl
Armed with passion
and loving care
Pray for us now
against suffering, turmoil, and injustice
Pray for us now
against the chaos of the dark.

Leonard Nimoy

Billy Graham
