God, our refuge and strength,
when in my heart I say:
I am, and besides me
there is no one who
matters,
you ask if I want to be
made well.
Provoke me, and help me
provoke others,
to love and good deeds--especially
when we have
been led astray by our
supposed wisdom and knowledge,
and we are feeling
secure in our wickedness.
Remind us of your
presence even
when we are in trouble.
