O God, from whom all holy desires,
all right counsels and all just works do proceed;
give Your servants that peace which the world cannot give,
that both our hearts may be set to obey Your commandments,
and also that we,
being delivered from the fear of our enemies,
may pass our time,
under Your protection,
in rest and quietness.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
