Does Bradstreet's poetry reveal faith bringing prosperity to her life?

     Anne Bradstreet was known for her faith in God and wrote about it in many of her works. She was a loving mother and wife, but she also endured her times of trouble and doubt. She wrote about a lot of her trials and tribulations, and contributed the pain and sin to being weak in her faith.
     In her poem "The Flesh and the Spirit" she compared twins as night and day, good and evil. Flesh being the sister that lives life too fast and forgets that God or (a higher sphere) has a plan for them. She is dreaming  and in search of materialistic things instead of filling her soul with righteousness, as Bradstreet reveals:

         "Then let not go what thou maist find

          For things unknown only in mind" (http://www.annebradstreet.com/the_flesh_and_the_spirit.htm)

    Spirit is the complete opposite, having good morals and living life right, or at least trying too. Living life calm and at peace with meditation and knows glory comes from up above.

         "Thy sinful pleasures I do hate,

          Thy riches are to me to bait.

          Thine honours do, nor will I love,

          For my ambition lies above." (http://www.annebradstreet.com/the_flesh_and_the_spirit.htm)

     Bradstreet revealed in the stanza above, all the pleasures we dwell in and tempt us to do bad are instruments used as bait. And to cure ourselves from being lost in temptation, we are suppose to keep our spirit open to God, because with God good things are to come. She begins to further reveal prosperity through faith when in "To My Dear and Loving Husband", she says "The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray." She was saying how much she loved her husband and she prayed the heavens rewarded her for having a strong faith and carrying out God's plan. (Line 10)

     The enlightening "To My Dear Children" is where she really revealed a lot about her faith and battles with good and evil. She revealed how she lived a life where she could not keep evil on her soul and always had to pray til she was relieved of the pain. She tells her children that she had to pray and pray until she was blessed with a child. (http://mith.umd.edu/eada/html/display.php?docs=bradstreet_tomydearchildren.xml&action=show)

     I believe through Anne Bradstreet's writings she revealed that in her life she got where she was through faith in God. The bad she encountered, she realized it and confessed and as she did so she began to prosper in life. So with the ups and downs, she began to realize and reveal in her works to stay on the path of righteousness, prayer is the way. Let God guide your footsteps is what I feel she tried to live by, and it guided her to prosperity and the knowing that after her death, her writings lives on.

WATCH this video, its a poet that expresses feeling about religion, good vs evil, and life, and ties in with Anne Bradstreet's way of letting God guide.
