“When I was laying out on that ball field, the first thing I did once I was down and I couldn’t do anything anymore, I just started to pray and I tell you it gave me an unbelievable sense of calm knowing that at that point it was in God’s hand but I prayed for very specific things, and I will tell you pretty much every one of those prayers was answered — and they were some pretty challenging prayers I was putting in God’s hand but he really did deliver for me and my family, and it just give you that renewed faith in understanding THE POWER OF PRAYER IS JUST SOMETHING THAT YOU CANNOT UNDERESTIMATE. So I am definitely a living example that miracles really do happen.” – Steve Scalise

“Our Father which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done in earth, 

as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil…. Amen.”

– Matthew 6:9-13

“God, grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change,

courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.”

– Reinhold Niebuhr
