God's help
“My God, you created me; I live through you and seek you when I sigh for good things.
I know you as my God and only know that I can serve you because you have given me insight.
O you, my helper in all good things, through you I do good works. I will cast all my hope on you and wear your favor as a garment.
You are my savior, protect me from iniquity when my conscience warns me to leave evil behind”
Indignity
“In the depths of my soul, Lord, I recognize myself as ashes and mold, like a trembling feather I sit anxiously in the shadow.”
Impermanence
“O all-knowing God who created good, I tremble in the consciousness of sin. I recognize myself in remorse, but I don't let it take effect, and I'm left with fear.
Doubts
“O God, did you not create me? The miserable earth is crushing me!” Do I know whether God even exists? Where is my King and God?”
Trust in adversity
“Ah, wretched man that I am, once a living breath, I am surrounded by the stench of sin; I can no longer look joyfully to heaven...But I will trust in you, my God, that through true repentance I can be freed from the hellish torments I deserve by mercy.
