I ask and ask for your aid and intercession. You do not grant every request; yet what I need I am always delivered. The error lies in my asking.
Lord, let me seek only what I lack. Grant me the sight to see what I already have.
Let me set my hands to work. You have already brought me, long since, what I need.
You dwell within me – why do I then look outside and all around for aid? Let me husband what is within.
(Letter #1,638)
