Addressing God as
O Lord, I do not know what to ask of TheeYou. ThouYou alone knowestknow what I truly need. ThouYou lovestlove me more than I know how to love myself. O Father, give ThyYour servant what I cannot ask for myself.
I dare not ask either for a cross or for consolation. I only stand before TheeYou; my heart is open to TheeYou. ThouYou seestsee needs of which I am unaware. Behold, and act according to ThyYour mercy.
Strike and heal, cast down and raise me up. I worship in silence ThyYour holy will and ThineYour unsearchable ways. I offer myself as a sacrifice to TheeYou. I put all my trust in TheeYou. I have no other desire than to fulfill ThyYour will.
Teach me to pray. Pray ThyselfYourself within me. Amen.
