A Prayer for the Lord’s Day, February 15 (based on Psalm 22)

Although, O GOD OF ALL CONSOLATION AND COMFORT, thou sufferest us for a little season to be afflicted diverse ways, and makest us (as it were) to be the outcasts of the world, yet, forasmuch as we have our only trust in thy goodness, we beseech thee to assist us and deliver us from all those troubles that distress us, that, in the midst of thy holy congregation, we may render thee hearty praises and thanks, through Jesus Christ thy only Son. AMEN.
