O God, you have dealt bountifully with
us;
when we have been brought low, you have
saved us.
When evil things have come into our
hearts
and we have been defiled by them,
when our courage has failed,
when everyone has been dismayed,
you have sent brothers and sisters
to visit and encourage us.
You protect the simple.
