Whether in times of ease or in times of trouble, we seek the safety of God s shelter. Leader: Like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. People: Do not hide your face from us O God, draw your presence close around us. Leader: We will remain confident that People: we will see the goodness of God in our lives. Leader: Wait for the Lord.
