Evening Prayer of Trust

Answer me when I call, O my God Who is right and good! You have made a way for me when I needed help. Be kind to me, and hear my prayer.

O sons of men, how long will you turn my honor into shame? How long will you love what is of no use, and run after lies? Know that the Lord has set apart him who is God-like for Himself. The Lord hears when I call to Him.
