for me, I believe that I am ready.”[16] Kennedy loved that prayer. He cited it at the annual presidential prayer breakfast on March 1, 1962,[17] and again in a speech in Frankfurt, Germany, on June 25, 1963.[18] More important, he made the prayer his own. Ever since his graceful journey on the currents of Ferguson Passage, Kennedy had known there was a God. In his deepening conflicts with the CIA and the military, he saw a storm coming. If God had a place for him, he believed that he, too, would be ready for the storm.
