A Prayer For Trust, against the Torment and Distraction of Fears.

Nder all the Fears and Apprehenfions of further Sorrows, Lord keep me easy and quiet within my Self.

I have put my self into thy hands, and thou hast promised to take care of me. And therefore I ought to rest assured, that all is certainly for my Good, and is most wisely and kindly order'd, whatever shall befal

me.

Why am I frighted at the approach of my Pains, which are sent by Thee?

And therefore when my Pains or Distresses are hardest upon me, let me not think, or say, that I cannot endure them. For thou, Lord, knowest better what I can endure, than I do my felf.

I firmly believe, that thou mercifully confiderest what I can bear: And wilt shew thy strength in my weakness. And wilt not fail to support me at present; and in thy due time, which is always best, wilt give me Ease and Deliverance. Through the. Merits of my dearest Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.
