Prayer for the Storms of
Life
THOU
seest, O LORD, how on all sides the winds are let loose upon us, and the sea is
growing rough with the violent commotion of the waves. Do Thou, we beseech
Thee, who alone art able, command the winds and the waves. Restore to mankind
that true peace which the world cannot give, the peace which comes of good
order. Let men impelled by thy grace return to a right and orderly course of
life, practising again, as they ought, love towards GOD, justice and charity in
dealing with their neighbour, temperance and self control in their own lives.
May thy kingdom come, and may those who now vainly and laboriously seek for
truth and salvation, far removed from Thee, understand that they must live as
thy servants in subjection to Thee. Thy laws show forth thy justice and
paternal gentleness, and to enable us to keep them, Thou dost freely supply by
thy grace the ready means. The life of man on earth is a warfare, but
"Thou dost thyself behold the strife, Thou dost help man to conquer, raise
him when he falls, and crown him when he is victorious."
