I got my doubts, I don’t see any way this will work and I have already tried to make it work, BUT at Your Word I will . . .  verse 5.

This is Simeon.  Luke 5.  I’m not faulting Simeon. He was honest. And he followed through. JESUS can work with that! JESUS does work with that!

Yet He would often slip away into the wilderness and pray.  source

That helps me!
