Kathleen Norris in Amazing Grace tells of a low time in her life when her husband became seriously ill. She relates: "My husband once went into a depression so severe that he had to be hospitalized for several weeks. I was stunned to learn that we had no medical insurance -- in his descent into despair he had canceled it -- but I also comprehended that this was the least of our problems. Finding out who my husband was, who I was, and rebuilding our life together; these were the critical things."
Norris went on to say: "One day at the height of the crisis I was talking to a friend in New York City who asked, 'What are you doing for yourself? Are you seeking a counselor? Did you get someone to give you a prescription for tranquilizers?' 'No,' I replied, and then I startled myself by saying, 'I'm okay; I've been praying the psalms.' 'And that's enough?' she replied, incredulous."
Jesus also prayed, "and that's enough."
