Complete Trust in God Prayer of St. Francis de Sales

Do not look forward to the trials and crosses

of this life with dread and fear.

Rather, look to them with full confidence

that as they arise, God, to whom you belong,

will deliver you from them.

He has guided and guarded you

thus far in life.

Do you but hold fast to his dear hand, and

He will lead you safely through all trials.

Whenever you cannot stand,

he will carry you lovingly in his arms.

Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow.

The same Eternal Father who cares for you today

will take good care of you tomorrow

and every day of your life.

Either he will shield you from suffering or

He will give you the unfailing strength to bear it.

Be at peace then and put aside all useless thoughts,

vain dreads, and anxious imaginations.

(St. Francis de Sales)
