Having the sincere desire to serve the Lord God and fully entrusting yourself, everything, and everyone to the all-good, perfect will of God bring divine peace to the heart, even when enduring various sorrows, both outward and interior, spiritual ones. Pray to God to be delivered from misfortune and cut off your own will as being sinful and blind.
Entrust yourself, your body and soul, your circumstances, both present and future; entrust those close to your heart, and your neighbors to the holy and most wise will of God…
Glory be to God! Glory be to God! For all things, glory be to God! Through these wonderful and holy words, the dark thoughts and heaviness will flee. Peace, comfort, and joy then come to the soul of a person. May Thy will be done, O Lord! Glory be to God for all things!
