It is natural...for us to trust in ourselves. It is so natural, and so confirmed by the habits of a lifetime, that no ordinary difficulties or perplexities avail to break us of it. It takes all God can do to root up our self-confidence. He must reduce us to despair; He must bring us to such an extremity that the one voice we have in our hearts, the one voice that cries to us wherever we look round for help, is death, death, death. It is out of this despair that the superhuman hope is born. It is out of this abject helplessness that the soul learns to look up with new trust to God… How do most of us attain to any faith in Providence? Is it not by proving, through numberless experiments, that it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps? Is it not by coming, again and again, to the limit of our resources, and being compelled to feel that unless there is a wisdom and a love at work on our behalf, immeasurably wiser and more benign than our own, life is a moral chaos?... Only desperation opens our eyes to God’s love.

add the sugar and vanilla, blending until incorporated. In another bowl,
mix the dry ingredients until well blended and add to the bananas. Mix
these thoroughly. Pour this into a 9X13 glass baking dish (no need to
spray) or a regular loaf pan (spray a THIN coat of baking spray). Bake at
350 for an hour. Serve with a glass of COLD vanilla soy milk. If you don't
find this to turn out AMAZING let me know, but we doubt it will fail you!
