O God, I have comfort in you. My soul finds peace in you. O God, you will provide for my needs; you sooth my injury. Bring to fruition in me, my Father, a greater desire to please you, to serve you. I am your servant on whom you have bestowed so many blessings. Give me a peace and a love and a joy in you–a zeal, that I may serve you all my days.
