Christ:  My child, in every circumstance this is how you should pray:  "Lord, if it be Your will, so let it be, and if it be to Your honor, let it be fulfilled in Your Name.  Lord, if this be for my good, give me the grace to use it for Your honor; but if You know that it will be harmful to me and not profitable for the good of my soul, then take away from me such a desire."
