The Household Plant Prophet: Faith, Perseverance, and Mantras

Buzz King: Grace & Joy thru Scripture

I once was asked to sit with a Buddhist patient who was passing away. She asked me to recite a mantra with her. We look at the Prophet named Habakkuk. We see that he offers an unusual message for a Prophet. He doesn't simply warn people that God will punish his people for their wayward means. He offers us an upbeat message of hope no matter what happens. We consider prayer, and the relationship between the practice of reciting a mantra and reciting a prayer. We see that both offer peace for someone who is seeking perseverance and calm.
