Lord, You know what is best;
let this be done
or that be done
as You please.
Give what You will,
as much as You will,
when You will.
Do with me as You know best,
as will most please You,
and will be for Your greater honor.
Place me where You will
and deal with me freely in all things.
I am in Your hand;
turn me about whichever way You will.
Behold, I am Your servant,
ready to obey in all things.
Not for myself do I desire to live,
but for You –
would that I could do this worthily and perfectly!
Thomas à Kempis, 1379-1471, German monk
from The Imitation of Christ

Then Jesus told his disciples,
If anyone would come after me,
let him deny himself
and take up his cross
and follow me.
This prayer could be prayed everyday by every believer.
