O Lord, Give Me What I Need to Glorify You

A Lutheran prayer for understanding and doing that glorify God:

Dear Lord God, give me your grace that I may rightly understand your Word, and more than that, do it. O most blessed Lord Jesus Christ, see to it that my search after knowledge leads me to glorify you alone. If not, let me knot know a single letter. Give only what I, a poor sinner, need to glorify you. Amen.
