When we walk through
the darkest valley,
it is not by bow, or
sword, or war,
or any kind of
violence that
you save us; it is by
your
presence with us, to
comfort and sustain.
Help us find the
treasure
you keep in your
kingdom,
that we may lead good
lives,
with works done in
gentleness
born of wisdom.
