If you are following Track 2, you may be interested in the experience of Jacob, who wrestled a blessing from God:
May your prayers be heard without harm,
and the intercession of your heart received with gentleness.
Otherwise, from the parable of the persistent widow and her struggle for justice:
May justice be your prayer, and mercy its answer.
And the blessing of the almighty God, Judge and Advocate be with you, now and always.
