I am only a spark: Make me a fire.

What in me is dark, Illumine; what is low, raise and support; That to the height of this great argument I may assert Eternal Providence, And justify the ways of God to men.

Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.

Here stand I. I can do no other. God help me. Amen.

(On the night he was robbed:) I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before; second, because although they took my purse they did not take my life; third, although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth, because it was I who was robbed and not I who robbed.

Night is drawing nigh-For all that has been-Thanks! To all that shall be-Yes!

God, give me hills to climb, And strength for climbing!

Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us, For we have no help but Thee.

Lord, I confess I am not what I ought to be, but I thank you, Lord, that I'm not what I used to be.

Lord, reform Thy world, beginning with me.

Give me chastity and continence, but not just now.

O Lord, I ain't what I wanna be, O Lord, I ain't what I oughta be, and O Lord, I ain't what I gonna be, but thanks, Lord, I ain't what I used to be.

Lord, help me to remember that nothing is going to happen to me today that you and I together can't handle.

Kingdom of God, come. Will of God, be done.

Those things, good Lord, that we pray for, give us also the grace to labor for.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, The bed be blest that I lie on. Four angels round my head, One to watch, and one to pray, And two to bear my soul away.

The greatest prayer anyone can pray is, Thy will be done.

Lord, save all the elect, and then elect some more.

God, give us the grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed; Give us the courage to change the things which should be changed; Give us the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Good morning, God, I love You! What are You up to today? I want to be part of it.
