The suddenly assaulted
   mind, gripped
      by apparent danger
      stops dead.

The heart, and the
   very innermost being
      take over.

Unbidden,
   cries
      rise
      up to God:

      "God! Help us!"

He Who always knows
   all ends
   from before
   the beginning,
always
   keeps His angels
   on guard.

   Thank You, Father!"

   We are in Good
      and Mighty
         Hands.
