Prayer – Thomas A Kempis – Quote of the Week

February 5, 2011 By Jean Wise


Grant me, O Lord, to know what I ought to know,

    to love what I ought to love,

      to praise what delights you most,

        to value what is precious in your sight,

           to hate what is offensive to you.

Do not allow me to judge according to the sight of my eyes,

        nor to pass sentence according to the hearing of my ears;

            but to discern with a true judgment between things visible and spiritual,

 and above all things, always to inquire what is the good pleasure of your will.

Thomas a Kempis

    this is a good one. To ask what His pleasure is, instead of mine. Whoa, boy, that can be tough, huh?
