dramoor:“I kneel before your majesty and prostrate myself on the ground before you, O God, for without my having asked you or even having existed, you brought me into existence; and before you fashioned me in the womb you knew that I would live a life full of tumult and backsliding. Yet you did not refrain from creating me and granting me all the attributes with which you have honored human nature, even though you knew my evils beforehand. You are aware of my requests even before they become known to me, and of my prayers even before they have been prayed before you: grant me to know at this hour, O my God, whatever needs you are aware my wretched nature has in its present peril. You are aware of my soul’s affliction, and in your hand lies its healing.”~St. Isaac the Syrian -- source link
