Give us the strength
LORD our God, Thou knowest our sorrow better than we know it ourselves. Thou knowest how easily our fearful soul entangles itself with untimely and self-made cares. We pray Thee: Let us clearly discern their inappropriateness and scorn them proudly, these busy self-made cares. But whatever care Thou dost inflict upon us, let us receive from Thy hand with humility and give us the strength to bear it.
Søren Kierkegaard (b. 1813, d. 1855) was a Christian writer, poet, theologian and philosopher.
