Sanctify My Eyes
Oh sublime one,
Liberate me from the chains of carnality and temptation
Release from modern day idolatry
And shield me from the attacks of ongoing spiritual warfare
Deliver me from unrighteousness
And protect me from the three-headed hydra of nihilism, hedonism, and consumerism
Set me on the path to supreme glory
And count me among those who spread virtue, truth, and righteousness
Bestow upon me wisdom to tread down towards divinity
And lead me away from the crowded road to perdition
Keep me humble in my times of trump
And grateful during times of adversity
Endow me with creative faculties
To cultivate strong friendships, families, and communities
Grant me a long life in this world,
But never let me grow attached to it
Through you, I become a vessel brimming with divine purpose
Instead of an empty shell adrift in misguidance and ignorance
Rectify my mind
Wash away my sins
Sanctify my eyes
By your grace, may you purify me from within
