Grant me always to will and desire that which is most acceptable to thee, and which pleaseth thee best.
Let thy will be mine, and let my will always follow thine, and agree perfectly with it.
Let me always will or not will the same with thee; and let me not be able to will or not will any otherwise than as thou willest or willest not.
4. Grant that I may die to all things that are in the world; and for thy sake love to be despised, and not to be known in this world.
Grant that I may rest, in thee above all things desired, and that my heart may be at peace in thee.
Thou art the true peace of the heart, thou art its only rest; out of thee all things are hard and uneasy.
In this peace, in the self same (that is, in Thee, the one sovereign eternal Good) I will sleep and take my rest. (Psalms iv.) Amen.
Chap. XVI.
That true comfort is to be sought in God alone.
1. Whatsoever I can desire or imagine for my comfort, I look not for it in this life, but hereafter.
