Requisite

-
If faith can tolerate my mortal fear, count me in. If laws from wiser sources lead down a better road, stear me there. If my praying happens anyway with doubts and all, I'm on board. If faith in God's laws is a requisite for wisdom, humble my flawed heart that I may believe.

"I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws."  Psalm 119:30
