When lighting lamps
I pray thee, Lord, to make my deeds excellent like lamps before others, and more, to place thy true light within my heart.

I pray thee, Lord, to send down spiritual rain into my heart, to germinate the good seed there.
When boiling water for tea
I pray thee, Lord, to send down spiritual fire to burn away the coldness of my heart and that I may always be hot-hearted in serving thee.
