Praying together
"A tourist, in climbing an Alpine summit, find himself tied by a strong rope to his trusty guide, and to three of his fellow tourists. As they skirt a perilous precipice, he cannot pray, 'Lord hold up my goings in a safe path, that my footsteps slip not, but as to my guide and my companions, they must look out for themselves.' The only proper prayer in such a case is, 'Lord, hold up our goings in a safe path; for if one slips all of us may perish.' " -H. Clay Trumbull
