God, You(s) know of my weakness and my rebelliousness. I ask only that You(s) give me strength and help me endure my circumstances, but only according to Your(s) will. I don’t know what Your(s) will is, and I just make this request. Nevertheless, may Your(s) will be done. Even if I am made to do service or serve as a foil, I will do so willingly
