During the past day

During the past day, You have been compassing our path—shielding us from danger, and guarding us from temptation.

None is so able, none is so willing, as You are—to befriend and guide us in every perplexity.

We can experience no real deprivation, and mourn no real loss—if we have You.

May we ever be near the atoning fountain; continually hidden in the clefts of the Rock .
