Gentle Father, who would not break a bruised reed or snuff a smoldering wick, remind us of your constant care and attention, that we would ever feel the care that you give us and would rest knowing that we are ultimately safe in your eternal kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. ‘Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. And even the hairs of your head are all counted. So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.’ – Matthew 10:29-31
