Pray saying “Lord, be my only portion, and I do not want any other portion beside you. Take everything I have, and give me yourself, give me the privilege of your knowledge. I do not want to request many things, I need only You. I want everything to be worthless, and you become the only worthwhile whom I care for. So I may love you my Lord who dwells in my heart, and not only that God who I read about in books.”
Pope Shenouda of Blessed Memory
