    Or an arrow during the day.

    Or even ten thousand right beside you,
    But you will not be hurt.

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

 

 

Father, sometimes my fears scream at me so loudly that I forget about your abiding presence.  Help me to face this day with calm assurance-

 

MAY YOU HAVE ENOUGH HAPPINESS TO MAKE YOU SWEET,
 ENOUGH TRIALS TO MAKE YOU STRONG,
ENOUGH SORROW TO KEEP YOU HUMAN AND ENOUGH HOPE TO MAKE YOU HAPPY-
