We think about you kneeling in the Garden –Ah! God! The agony of that dread Garden –We know you prayed for us upon the Cross.If anything could make us glad to bear it – ‘Twould be the knowledge that you willed to bear it – Pain – death – the uttermost human loss.Though we forget you – you will not forget us - We feel so sure that you will not forget us – But stay with us until this dream is past. And so we ask for courage, strength, and pardon – Especially, I think, we ask for pardon – And that you’ll stand beside us to the last. Lucy Whitmell  “Christ in Flanders” in Hear My Cry (Bible Society, 2014)Lord God, you hold both Heaven and earth in a single peace. Let the design of your great love shine on
