A Prayer for the Day

Thou Are Our Only Hiding Place
O Lord Jesus Christ, the birds have their nests, the foxes their holes, and Thou didst not have whereon to lay Thy head, homeless wert Thou upon the earth, and yet a hiding place, the only one, where a sinner could flee. And so today Thou art still the hiding place; when the sinner flees to Thee, hides himself in Thee, is hidden in Thee-then he is eternally defended, then “love” hides a multitude of sins.

Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) was a Christian writer, poet, theologian and philosopher.
