Lord, You know it altogether Psalm 139:1-4
A LL: Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee
from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there. If I make
my bed in hell, behold You are there. If I take the wings of the morning,and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead
me, and Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall
fall on me,” even the night shall be light about me. Psalm 139:7-11

is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Matthew 6: 9 – 13

For Zion 's sake I wil l not hold My peace,
And for Jerusalem 's sake I wil l not res t,
Un til her r ighteousness goes for th
as b r ightness,
And her salvat ion as a lam p that burns .
The nat ions shal l see your r ighteousness ,
And al l k ings your glory.
You shal l be cal led by a new nam e,
W hich the mouth o f the LORD wi l l
n a m e .
Yo u shal l a lso be a crown o f glory
In the hand o f the LO RD ,
An d a royal diadem
In the hand of your God.
Yo u shal l no longer be termed Fo rsaken,
Nor shal l your land any m ore
be termed Desolate ;
But you shal l be cal led Hephzibah ,
and your land Beulah ;
For the LOR D delights in you,
An d your land shal l be married .
For as a young m an m arr ies a virgin ,
So shal l your sons marry you;
An d as the br idegroom rejoices over the
br ide, So shal l your G od rejoice over
you .
(Isaiah 62:1-5)

Evil acts which come from one part of
the mind and not at the same time from
the other, such as those which come
from the understanding-part, and not at
the same time from the will-part, arenot rooted in and appropriated to a per-
son. That alone is rooted in and appro-
priated to him which passes from the
understanding-part into the will-part; or
what is the same, which passes from
the thought which is a matter of the un-derstanding into the affection which
is a matter of the will, and from that
into act. Those things which enter into
the will are those which are said to en-
ter into the heart. Arcana Coelestia
