         WHEREAS, God has given to us His great and precious promises
  of love, hope, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
  wisdom, and strength to sustain us through the life He has given us;

  of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you
  nor forsake you; and
