Lord, you know what is best. May your will decide what shall be done. Give what you will, how much you will, and when you will. Do what you know is best for me, do what pleases you and brings your name most honor. Put me where you will, and deal with me in all things as you please. I am in your hand— turn me backwards and forwards, turn me upside down. Here I am, your servant, ready for anything, for I have no desire to live for myself, but only to live perfectly and worthily for you.
-Thomas à Kempis, "The Imitation of Christ
