I Will Both Lay

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety

Commentary

This line rewards steadiness over drama. It points toward action with eno ugh room for resilience. Read plainly, it is less a slogan than a working posture. The value appears over time, in repeated choices rather than one emotional moment. Its durability comes from proportion: clear about hardship, clear about agency, and resistant to both panic and grandstanding.
