Peace, Love, Happiness, and Joy shall never depart from us”.
He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”

Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from men of violence who plan to trip my feet. O LORD, I say to you, “You are my God.” Hear, O LORD, my cry for mercy. Let the heads of those who surround me be covered with the trouble their lips have caused. Amen amen and amen”.
