About This Prayer
The Prayer of Saint Teresa of Avila is one of the most beloved Catholic meditations on trust in God. Written in the 16th century by the Carmelite mystic and Doctor of the Church, the prayer offers comfort and strength in times of fear, uncertainty, and spiritual dryness. Its short lines are poetic and deeply rooted in Scripture and the Carmelite tradition of contemplative trust.
Teresa’s words remind us that everything in this world is temporary—only God is unchanging. This prayer reflects her deep spiritual insight and her desire to draw souls closer to the peace that comes from placing all hope in God.
