O Spirit of God help our infirmities. If we are pressed down with a load of sorrow; if we are in perplexity and know not what to do; if we are slandered and persecuted; if we in any way are made to feel the weight of the cross, help us, we pray.
Let not our weakness be staggered by that portion of our estate which comes under the head of tribulation. May we rather rejoice in infirmities, because the power of God rests upon us; and may we glory in tribulations also, because these work in us, by your good Spirit, all manner of holy graces to your glory.
