Protected I feel God’s protecting presence. I feel deep peace and security because I know God is always with me. I call to mind these words from James Dillet Freeman’s “Prayer for Protection”: “The power of God protects me; the presence of God watches over me.” While the path of life is a…

POEMS: “Bridge of Prayer” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Bridge of Prayer The bridge of prayer from heavenly heights suspended Unites the earth with spirit-realms in Space.
