God of love,
passionate and strong,
tender and careful:
watch over us and hold us
all the days of our life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Genesis 28:15
Psalm 121:7
These words make a special picture of a loving parent who
is tender and careful. Someone strong and passionate about us,
their children. This picture of watching and holding shows us what
kind of parent God is.
