MY LIFE MOTTO
* A beautiful apothegm by an unknown author:
In order to maintain and ever increase my faith, I shall always with joyful expectation and with peace in my soul, excitedly anticipate the blessings of God to flow unto me.

34. PRAYER OF THANKS AFTER A SAFE JOURNEY
O gracious God, heavenly Father, I render thanks to Thee from my inmost heart that Thou hast granted me a safe jouirney and by the protection of Thy dear angels hast brought me back to my family, which has made our hearts glad. It is due to Thy fatherly care that I have been preserved from all harm, that I have not been killed by robbers or wild animals nor have perished or suffered injury in floods or other dangers. Protected by Thy holy angels, I have traveled in safety and good health to my journey's end and back again. For all this I owe thanks to Thy fatherly care and almighty protection, and I heartily pray Thee that Thou wouldst also in future graciously extend to me and my family Thine almighty protection and sustain body and soul by Thy power unto life eternal; for Christ Jesus' sake. Amen.
