Teach me your way, Lord,
that I may rely on your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
Psalm 86:11 NIV
**********
O God, teach me to be satisfied
with my own helplessness in the spiritual life.
Teach me to be content
with Your grace that comes to me in darkness
and that works things I cannot see.
Teach me to be happy that I can depend on You.
To depend on You should be enough for an eternity of joy.
To depend on You by itself ought to be infinitely greater than any joy
which my own intellectual appetite could desire.
Thomas Merton
**********
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
Psalm 25:5 NIV
