But, you see, in this prayer I made the decision and I want God to execute it for me. The right way of prayer, the second type, is to ask God, “What do You want me to do? I am here to do Your will.” This is the prayer of St. Paul before his conversion when he met the Lord on the road to Damascus. He asked God,

“Lord, what do You want me to do?”

—H.E. Metropolitan Youssef, How to Know the Will of God
