Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me.

May the strength of God pilot us, may the wisdom of God instruct us, may the hand of God protect us, may the word of God direct us. Be always ours this day and for evermore.

The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelieving heart, so that I should recall my sins.

I prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain.

Before I was humiliated I was like a stone that lies in deep mud, and he who is mighty came and in his compassion raised me up and exalted me very high and placed me on the top of the wall.

For after chastisement from God, and recognizing him, our way to repay him is to exalt him and confess his wonders before every nation under heaven.

If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God.
