that besets me, for which, I know, I am deservedly suffering. I acknowledge and believe, O Lord, that
all trials of this life are given by Thee for our chastisement, when we drift away from Thee, and disobey
Thy Commandments; deal not with me after my sins, but according to Thy bountiful mercies, for I am
the work of Thy hands, and Thou knowest my weakness. Grant me, I beseech Thee, Thy Divine helping
grace, and endow me with patience and strength to endure my tribulations with complete submission to
Thy Will. Thou knowest my misery and to suffering and to Thee, my only hope and refuge, I flee for relief
and comfort, trusting to Thine infinite love and compassion, that in due time, when Thou knowest best,
Thou will deliver me, from this trouble, and turn my distress into comfort, when I shall rejoice in Thy
mercy, and exalt and praise Thy Holy Name, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: now and ever and unto the
ages of ages. Amen.
