Question

She got to a place where she could take a breath. As she was  39  there，the safety  rope suddenly struck Brenda's eye and   40  out her contact lens（隱形鏡片).
Well, here she was, on a rock face，with hundreds of feet below her and hundreds of feet 41  her. She was desperate and began to get  42 , so she prayed to the Lord to help her to 43 it.
When she got to the top，a friend  44 her eye and her clothing for the lens，but there was no contact lens to be found. She  45  across the mountains，thinking of that verse（詩句）that says, “The  46 of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth. ” She thought，“Lord，you can see all these mountains. You know every  47  and leaf，and you know  48  where my contact lens is. Please help me.”
Finally，they  49 down the trail to the bottom. At the bottom there was a new party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out，“Hey，you guys! Anybody  50 a contact lens?”
Well，that would be  51  enough，but you know  52  the climber saw it? An ant was moving  53  across the face of the rock，carrying it on it's back.
Brenda told her father about the story of the  54  ，the prayer，and the contact lens. He then drew a picture of an ant carrying that contact lens with the words，“Lord，I don't know why you want me to do this. I can't eat it，and it's awfully  55 . But if this is what you want me to do，I'll carry it for you. ”
