Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 

Lord God my father,

Your way brings Peace and Strength. All Praise is to you. Renew me with your Spirit, restore me with your Peace. Protect me from Satan’s wit so his way is not known to me. Your Glory transforms and displays your way within me. The pressure of the world has no effect when your Peace is with me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
