Perseverance in the Midst of Trials
our first task
is to be dissatisfied with yourself, fight sin, and transform yourself
into something better.
Your second task is to put up with the trials and temptations of this world that will be brought on by the change in your life and to persevere to the very end in the midst of these things.
-- Commentary on Psalm 59, 5
Prayer. Lord, our God, we hope in the shelter of your wings. Protect and carry us. It is only when you are our strength that we are strong.
-- Confessions 4, 16
