Doubts Cannot Harm Us
PRAYER.

Grant, Almighty God, that I may resist all temptations to doubt by quickly acting against them.

LET us get rid of curious and presumptuous thoughts by going about our business. Let us mock and baffle the doubts which Satan whispers to us by acting against them.

The rest will follow in time; part in this world, part in the next. Doubts may pain, but they cannot harm, unless we give way to them. We ought not to give way, our conscience tells us, so that our course is plain.
