lest my soul faint

"O most blessed grace, which makes the poor in spirit rich in virtues, which renders him who is rich in many good things humble of heart, come, descend upon me, fill me quickly with your consolation lest my soul faint with weariness and dryness of mind...Let Your grace, therefore, go before me and follow me. O Lord, and make me always intent upon good works, through Jesus Christ, Your Son." ~from The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a' Kempis
