Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.

I praise You this day for the love I witnessed

and the forgiving of my transgressions as I forgave those who offended me.

Your teachings guide me from temptation and Your compassion has preserved me from evil.

Your blessings refresh and exalt my life!

I pray my journey to Your Light is always in step with Your Will, O Lord,

the foundation of my salvation, through whom my soul will be judged for eternity.

Amen
