Chapter 2, Shape Up and Fly Right, Page 56 ,Lily's Thoughts, Dad Said
Dad then shared a devoted kiss with mom, and he gave me a kiss on the cheek, and Paul a manly hug. Just before he and Andrew began to make their descent down the staircase. Dad spoke with heartfelt emotion. “I want you all to pray, because as bad as things may seem right now, without prayer it could be a whole lot worse. Love you.” On the verge of tears mom was the first to reply. We’d then all joined in, “Love you too.
Dad turned to Andrew and taking command of the situation, he said, “It’s time we see what they want.”

Holy Scriptures
psalms 25:21, Lead me in thy truth, and teach me for thou art God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all day.
Author's Commentary
“Speak Biblical Truth to Power,” But what do you do when you happen to speak the truth, and a rogue government has all the power. This is the predicament Lily finds herself in at 3:00 AM in the morning the authorities are demanding access into Lily’s world of wholesomeness and love of Family.
The corrupt state which vehemently takes issue with the truth in the LORD, when only the lies of a cruel authority will do. Unfortunately this is Lily’s dilemma. And what is left to her once all else is taken away. No love of family, or home sweet home, and gone from her immediate surroundings the morality of a Biblical world view. All that is left to her is the clothes on her back, but in Lily’s dire situation this may be a trivial detail to some, but to Lily it is a great tangible blessing of her cherished past.
"I lift up my eyes unto the Glory of the LORD encircled by the Beauty of Autumn!"
Holy Scriptures

Author's Commentary
But O how prayer becomes Lily’s most valued constant trustworthy and true companion, knowing that whenever she should call on the Father God, the LORD God is there in the name of the Son, Jesus. The love of God is as close to Lily as a thought, or a feeling. She even perhaps mouths her heartfelt prayers in silence, with her tears as a most precious sincere devotion.
Holy Scriptures
Jonah 2:7, When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

With the encroachment of the pawns of that “Aged Old Serpent,” prayer is automatically second nature to Lily, and she is comforted nobly by God’s blessed assurance. The LORD shall be with her always as it is written in Matthew 28:20, Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
