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
