From weariness in continuing struggles

From weariness in continuing struggles; from despondency in failure and disappointment; from overburdened sense of unworthiness . . . raise us to a lively hope and trust in thy presence and mercy, in the power of faith and prayer; and from all exaggerated fears and vexations, save us and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord.



In all times of ignorance and perplexity as to what is right and best to do, direct us, O Lord, with wisdom to judge aright, order our ways and overrule our circumstances as thou canst in thy good Providence; and in our mistakes and misunderstandings, save us and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord.



From the Southwell Litany
