For thus wilt thou preserve me; and those things which thou hast given me shall be developed and perfected,and I myself shall be with thee, for from thee is my being. – Augustine 400 ADish from “The Confessions of Saint Augustine” Continue reading Here in lay my sin

[25] Be not afraid of sudden fear, Neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. [26] For the LORD SHALL BE THY CONFIDENCE, And shall keep thy foot from being taken.” Continue reading Thy sleep shall be sweet
