Thank you for having me. And I want to share a parent protection. With the state of things big and small, we all could use a little extra. Ordain for me, oh my lord, and for those who believe in thee, that which is deemed best for us in thine estimation, set forth in the mother book. Forward in the grasp of thy hand, thou holdest the determined measures of all things. Thy goodly gifts are unceasingly showered upon such as cherish thy love, and the wondrous tokens of thy heavenly bounties are amply bestowed on those who recognize thy divine unity. We commit unto thy care whatsoever thou has destined for us and implore thee to grant us all the good that thy knowledge embraces. Protect me, O my Lord, from every evil that thine omniscience perceiveth, inasmuch as there is no power nor strength, but in the no triumph is forthcoming, save from thy presence, and it is thine alone to command. Whatever God hath willed hath been, and that which he hath not willed shall not be. There is no power nor strength, except in God, the most exalted, the most mighty. Thank you. Thank you.
