When You Are Facing Criticism

O God, have mercy on me,

For people are hounding me.

My foes attack me all day long.

I am constantly hounded by those who slander me, and many are boldly attacking me.
But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?

Psalm 56:1-4 

Fr. Augustine Wong
