For Harmony of Heart with God
O MERCIFUL God, be Thou now unto us a strong tower of defence, we humbly entreat Thee. Give us grace to await Thy leisure, and patiently to bear what Thou doest unto us, nothing doubting, or mistrusting Thy goodness towards us; for Thou knowest what is good for us better than we do. Therefore do with us in all things what Thou wilt; only arm us, we beseech Thee, with Thine armour, that we may stand fast; above all things, taking to us the shield of faith, praying always that we may refer ourselves wholly to Thy will, abiding Thy pleasure, and comforting ourselves in those troubles which it shall please Thee to send us, seeing such troubles are profitable for us. We are assuredly persuaded that all Thou doest cannot but be well; and unto Thee be all honour and glory, both now and ever. Amen.
