A Prayer for God's Will
"All-powerful, eternal, just, and merciful God, grant that we poor creatures might do, by your grace, what we know you want us to do, and to want always what is pleasing to you, so that interiorly cleansed and enlightened, and inflamed by the fire of the Holy Spirit, we might follow the footsteps of your Beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and by your grace alone come to you, O Most High, you who live and reign glorified in perfect Trinity and in simple Unity, God Almighty forever and ever. Amen." --St. Francis, Letter to the Whole Order
"By your grace alone"......our human pride clouds our ability to walk in God's grace alone. Until we do, however, our faith will be weak because we will not know God's Will for us.
