A prayer by William Tyndale, one of the early Reformers. A prayer that I need in these days of rumblings and threats that make up our world.

Dear God, give me a steady heart and a true courage in all my striving against the devil, so that I may not only endure and finally triumph, but also have peace in the midst of struggle.

May I praise you and thank you and not complain or become impatient against your divine will.

Let peace win the victory in my heart, so that, in my impatience, I will not initiate anything against you or my neighbor.

May I remain quiet and peaceable toward you and toward other people, both inwardly and outwardly, until the final and eternal peace shall come. Amen.
