Lord God Our Heavenly Father,

Help me to be Your loving, attentive
and dutiful child.
May I every day
speak Your Holy Name with reverence,
and hold You close in my heart.

Let me seek always to know Your will
and to do Your will in all things,
to follow Your commands,
and to be Your obedient servant
in the world.

Thank you for the abundance of blessings
which You have given me:
my knowledge of You, my faith in You,
and my trust in You.

You have also given me security,
food, shelter, clothes, good health,
sanity, clear sight and good hearing,
a sound body in a sound mind, education, intellectual curiosity, logic,
a free country, loyal friends,
faith, hope, and charity.

Please forgive all my sins
of commission and omission:
neglect, anger, distraction, jealousy,
every evil thought, word and deed
unworthy of a son of God.
Let me have no hatred in my heart,
no anger at any person
anywhere for any fault, real or imagined.

Let me judge no other soul
for judgment is Yours alone.
Please know, Lord, that I am weak.
Guard me against the temptations
of the world, the flesh, and Satan.

All this I pray to You, Father,
in confidence and hope,
and in great appreciative love.

Amen
