Father-Mother God,
Loving me,—
Guard me when I sleep;
Guide my little feet
Up to Thee.
(Mary Baker Eddy, Poems, p. 69)
From the earliest time I can remember, I recited this prayer I learned in Sunday School to myself every night before I went to sleep. It was very comforting because no matter how many mistakes I’d made that day, this prayer made me feel deep down that God still loved me and was always there smiling, guiding and guarding me.
