All of us, dear children of
Our tender Father-Mother
Are permanently abiding,
Are active, stable, still,
Knowing that we are under
God, Principle, Spirit's
Ever-present, almighty,
All-encompassing care.
We peacefully, quietly acknowledge
To God, ourselves and our neighbors
That Mind's embrace is a safe refuge,
The impenetrable fortress of the One
And only power, influence or government
We can and do trust completely.
Surely, invariably,
Reliably, eternally
We are delivered
From any trouble:
Hidden or obvious,
Quiet or clamorous,
Be it snare, trap,
Pain or pestilence.
We are all comforted, covered by Love's
Unlimited reach and ever-so-gentle touch.
This fact evokes awareness of and trust
In Truth's faithful, absolute protection. It is
Shield, buckler, rampart, bulwark, shelter -
Whatever we need it to be in any moment.
So we are not afraid of
Bright day or dark night.
We are not afraid of envy
Ignorance, hate, slander,
Plots, stalking or surprises.
We are not afraid of sin,
Foul suggestion, disease,
Not even destruction or death.
If thousands appear to mistake, wane or succumb
Whether working with or against us - this is a lie.
Only our eyes have said so. Actually, we are all
Untouched. Evil cannot even approach any of us.
It alone fails - as no part of any person, place or thing;
Without power, presence, existence, history or reality.
In other words, because we all live,
Move and have our being in Life's
Self-sustaining, harmonious kingdom -
The very best, highest sanctuary
With the most advanced defense -
No plague, disaster, adversity, ill,
No scourge can ever enter there, our
Habitual dwelling, our heavenly home.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the
shadow of the Almighty...
There, Soul's pure, perfect, sweet inspirations
Have complete control over consciousness, life -
Obedience, service, love - every step of the way.
These angels accompany, guard, preserve, guide,
Keep us well beyond base sensuality or mortality.
They unfailingly hold us up. We cannot trip or fall.
Thus we walk confidently,
Unharmed as we trample
And thoroughly destroy
Any and every foe that
Dares enter our path:
Large or small, roaring or hissing,
New or old, "noble" or "cursed,"
Lion, serpent or any other form.
We all love God - everyone's adorable One,
For we know joy-giving Good, heart to heart.
Sure as reflection we call and are answered.
More than rescued, redeemed, undisturbed,
We are blessed, yea, we are exalted together -
Glorified, honored, set entirely above all else.
And so we rest,
Father-Mother,
And creation,
Unified, satisfied
With the promise and
Triumph of God's law,
Throughout our thriving,
Long life - yea, forever.
