A Prayer for the Afflicted.
O ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, the Comforter of the sorrowful, and the support of those who are afflicted, give ear to the prayers of such as call on Thee in their tribulation; that, finding Thy mercy present with them in their necessities, their mourning may be turned into joy: through, etc.
Against Temptations.
O GOD, who justifieth the wicked that repent, and desirest not the death of a sinner, we humbly beseech Thy majesty to defend Thy servants with Thy heavenly grace, who trust in Thy mercy, and preserve them by Thy continual protection; that they may persevere in Thy service, and by no temptations be ever separated from Thee: through, etc.
