Set free, O God, our souls from all restlessness and anxiety; give us that peace and power which flow from thee; keep us in all perplexities and distresses, in all fears and faithlessness; that so, upheld by thy power, and stayed on the rock of thy faithfulness, we may through storm and stress abide in thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Beautiful prayer, Kendall, thank you. Reminds me of the Taize setting of St. Theresa of Avila’s prayer – Nada te turbe
Here’s the YouTube link. It’s long. I hope it posts

May nothing disturb you!
May nothing disturb you.
May nothing astonish you.
Everything passes.
God does not go away.
Patience
can attain anything.
He who has God within,
does not lack anything.
God is everything!*
(Translation by Jorge W. Suazo)
(*This last verse may be interpreted as “God is enough.”)
Nada te turbe;
nada te espante;
todo se pasa;
Dios no se muda,
la paciencia
todo lo alcanza.
Quien a Dios tiene,
nada le falta.
Solo Dios basta.
Sorry, looks like the link won’t work…just plug in Nada te turbe taize in You Tube
