Proslogion Prayer

By Anselm of CanterburySource: Anselm of Canterbury - Proslogion (Public Domain)72 words

O Lord my God, teach my heart this day where and how to see You, where and how to find You. You have made me and remade me, and You have bestowed on me all the good things I possess, and still I do not know You. I have not yet done that for which I was made. Teach me to seek You, for I cannot seek You unless You teach me.
