This is a quote from a sermon by St. Augustine of Hippo (November 13, 354 to August 28, 430 AD)
The doctor sometimes makes a mistake, but God never does. So if you entrust yourself to a doctor who can sometimes make mistakes, you are entrusting yourself to human treatment. Won't you allow God to cut, and slice off some of your profits if, by such a check, you may have a lesson to learn? So then, brothers and sisters, be upright of heart; that is, do not get annoyed with God for any reason.
This prayer is taken from his book "Confessions"
O my inward Healer, let my heart keep watch for Your loving mercy and Your gentle grace, through which every weak soul that knows its own weakness grows strong.
