"O Lord my God, who dwellest in pure and blessed serenity beyond the reach of mortal pain, yet lookest down in unspeakable love and tenderness upon the sorrows of earth, give me grace, I beseech Thee, to understand the meaning of such afflictions and disappointments as I myself am called upon to endure. Deliver me from all fretfulness. Let me be wise to draw from every dispensation of Thy providence, the lesson Thou art minded to teach me.
Give me a stout heart to bear my own burdens.
Give me a willing heart to bear the burdens of others.
Give me a believing heart to cast all burdens upon Thee.
Glory be to Thee, O Father, and the Thee, O Christ, and to Thee, O Holy Spirit, for ever and ever. Amen." ~From a Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie
