Here’s Augustine’s prayer of deliverance in my words:
Blessed are all your children, O God-King,
who have voyaged over the raging seas of this crazy existence,
and have made your safe-harbor.
Watch over those of us who are still at sea,
and remember those who lie exposed to the perfect storm
of trial, trouble and temptation.
Our boat is rickety, and the ocean is wide and fearful;
but your mercy has set our course,
so steer our craft towards the shore of peace.
Bring us to the quiet harbor of our hearts desire, where you, O God, are blessed.
Where your kingdom rules for ever and ever. Amen
