O Blessed Lord, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort: We beseech thee, look down in pity and compassion on thy servant, whose soul is full of trouble: give him(her) a right understanding of himself, and also of thy will for him,that he may neither cast away his confidence in thee, nor place it anywhere but in thee; deliver him from the fear of evil; lift up the light of thy countenance upon him,and give him thine everlasting peace; through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

So well expressed, a heartfelt and sometimes very needed prayer.
