For a Person Troubled by Worry

EVER Blessed God, whose word is, "Peace, peace to him that is far off and to him that is near", fulfil Thy promise to this Thy servant for whom we pray. Rescue him from the misery of groundless fears and restless anxieties. Take him more and more out of himself, that duty may be no longer a drudgery but a delight. Lead him into the secret of Thy peace which quiets every misgiving and fills the heart with joy and confidence. Save him from the shame and emptiness of a hurried life. Grant him to possess his soul in patience. Amid the storms and stress of life, let him hear a deeper voice assuring him that Thou livest and that all is well. Strengthen him to do his daily work in quietness and confidence, fearing no to-morrow, nor the evil that it brings, for Thou art with him. And this we ask for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.
