A life of multiple personal difficulties and tragedies, including living through the Civil War and losing her husband and two of her children, could have broken Mary Kidder, or made her bitter. Instead, she wrote hymns and used the words the Holy Spirit gave her to minister to herself and others while she supported her family. "Did You Think to Pray?" asks us hard questions that might make us uncomfortable, but answering them to ourselves and our God honestly ultimately enriches our lives immeasurably.
"'Ere you left your room this morning, did you think to pray?"
