O Eternal God, you have made me and sustained me; you have blessed me all the days of my life and have taken care of me through all variety of accidents.
Nothing happens to me except that which is in your will.
O let me never accuse you foolishly, nor offend you by my impatience and haughty pride, nor weaken the hands of those who minister to my needs.
Let me pass through the valley of tears and the valley of the shadow of death with safety and peace, with a meek spirit and a sense of your divine mercy.
Grant this, eternal God, gracious Father, in the name of our ever blessed Savior, Jesus.
Amen.
Jeremy Taylor (1613–1667)
