The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (The Bible – KJV: Psalm 27: 1)
I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. (The Bible KJV: Psalm 55: 16, 17)
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. (The Bible KJV: Psalm 91: 4)
Rise in the strength of Spirit to resist all that is unlike good. God has made man capable of this, and nothing can vitiate the ability and power divinely bestowed on man.
Simply asking that we may love God will never make us love Him; but the longing to be better and holier expressed in daily watchfulness and in striving to assimilate more of the divine character, will mould and fashion us anew, until we awake in His likeness.
In the Saxon and twenty other tongues good is the term for God. The Scriptures declare all that He made to be good, like Himself, — good in Principle and in idea. Therefore the spiritual universe is good, and reflects God as He is.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p286:16)
These readings are from a Wednesday Testimony Meeting in Canberra. They are on the topic of God as the divine Father-Mother of all.

We thank Thee and we bless Thee, O Father of us all, That e’en before we ask Thee Thou hear’st Thy children’s call. We praise Thee for Thy goodness And tender, constant care, We thank Thee, Father-Mother, That Thou hast heard our prayer.
When we realize that Life is Spirit, never in nor of matter, this understanding will expand into self-completeness, finding all in God, good, and needing no other consciousness.
