1. _God preserves you by providing you with all things that you need for
your life and body. He does so richly and daily. Therefore trust in Him,
your rich and merciful Father._
2. _God wants you to work diligently and earn your daily bread; He also
wants you to be thrifty, saving, with what He has given you. But with
all your working and saving you could never provide the necessary food
and clothing without God's blessing. He alone provides for you._
3. _Trust in God! He will defend you against all danger and guard and
protect you from all evil. He will send His angels so that no evil may
harm you._
