=I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.=
_That is_,
I believe that God has made me and all other creatures; that He has
given me body and soul, eyes, ears, and all other members, my reason,
and all my senses.
I also believe that He preserves all He has made, and that He daily
provides me with all I need, giving me clothing and food, home and
family, and every good thing.
I further believe that He protects me from all danger, and keeps me
from all evil; not because I have deserved it, but because He is a
loving and merciful Father.
For all these blessings it is my duty to serve Him thankfully and
obediently all the days of my life.
All this is certainly true.
