My Lord, I know not what I ought to ask of Thee. Thou and Thou alone know my needs. Thou lovest me more than I am able to love Thee.
O Father, grant unto me, Thy servant, all which I cannot ask. For a cross I dare not ask, nor for consolidation; I dare only to stand in Thy presence. My heart is open to Thee. Thou seest my needs of which I myself am unaware. Behold and lift me up!
In Thy presence I stand, awed and silenced by Thy will and Thy judgments, into which my mind cannot penetrate. To Thee I offer myself as a sacrifice. No other desire is mine but to fulfill Thy will. Teach me how to pray. Do Yourself pray within me.
Amen.
