in heaven above and on the earth beneath.
So out of the depths I cry to you. Hear my voice;
let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
I ask, I search, I knock, appealing to you:
Take away the thorn from my flesh; remove it.
But if your power is made perfect in weakness,
grant sufficient grace to be strong in my weakness.
