Blessed be Thy mercy, O my God, which
pitieth me in my misery. As a father
pitieth his children in the extremity of their
pain, so hast Thou pitied me. Lord, my
soul shall love Thee, and sing of Thy mercy.
In my distress I will always trust in Thee,
and not be afraid; for Thou art our Strength
while we suffer, and our merciful Deliverer
when we can endure no more. To Thee be
glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
[God] makes provision for our holiness, but He gives us the responsibility of using those provisions.
