From one of my favorite Welsh hymns, notice the capital letters that emphasize the Divine. Meditating on these words has gotten me through quite a few rough days...
"Grant me the Peace beyond all earthly knowing
The gentle Peace that came thru' Boundless Woe
And from the Cross, on waves adversely beating
Against my soul, may Jesus calm bestow.
O! Grant the Peace whereby I would be willing
On earth to do God's work without dismay
Devoid of fear and confidently dwelling
In God the Father's love
Throughout my day. "
(H. Elfet Lewis 1860-1935, English Trans. Caleb Rees)
