Alma 22:14 -- And since man had fallen he could not merit anything of himself . . .
To be convinced of God and Christ will take a humble mind;
to recognize that we are less than dust and have been blind.
To start from nothing, even less, is wisdom so obscure
that many never realize it is the only cure
for existential nausea, depression, and despair --
only then can we begin to offer heart-felt prayer.
When I am nothing I can start becoming something more;
finding joy at last in what my life may have in store.
I merit nothing of myself; I must efface all pride.
Then only will the Light and Truth walk firmly by my side.
