Govern all by your wisdom, O Lord, so that my soul may serve you, as you will it, and not as I may choose.
Do not punish me, I beg you, by granting that which I wish or ask, if it offend your love, which would always live in me.
Let me die to myself, that I may serve you, who in yourself is the true life.
Amen.
– St. Teresa of Avila
