Jesus, when we are in a low estate,
you comfort and strengthen our heart.
Like a hiding place from the wind,
like a covert from the tempest,
like shade in a weary land,
or water in a dry place,
your grace is there
to support us.
But your grace is not just for me.
I am not the only one in need.
As I would be comforted,
may I pray and work
to comfort others.

like streams of water in a dry place,
like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
