MY SOUL, [Gen. 2:7+]--MY REASON AND ALL THE FACULTIES OF MY MIND, by
which I am placed so far above the brute creation. God made the human
soul to be a likeness of Himself; [Gen. 1:27, Gen. 9:6] that is, He gave
to man in a limited measure those powers and faculties which He Himself

2. PRESERVES ME. [Neh. 9:6] All that has helped to support my life has
been God's gift; namely, MY RAIMENT, FOOD, HOME AND FAMILY, AND ALL MY
PROPERTY. I continue to live because He sustains me. [Jas. 1:17+, Acts
17:28+]

HE DAILY PROVIDES ME ABUNDANTLY WITH ALL THE NECESSARIES OF LIFE. [Ps.
115:15-16+] His care for me is a constant, daily care. His mercies are
new every morning. [Matt. 6:31-32+, Lam. 3:22-23+]

HE PROTECTS ME FROM ALL DANGER, SEEN AND UNSEEN. [Ps. 34:7, Matt. 10:30]
I am beset with perils on every hand. If God withdrew His protecting

HE PRESERVES ME AND GUARDS ME AGAINST ALL EVIL. [Ps 121:5, 8+] No real
evil can come upon God's children. What seems an evil is meant for a

Jer. 29:11, Ps. 23:4+]
