Just a prayer

Grant me Oh Lord, Insight, that I may see what must be seen. Vanquish the spirit of selfishness within me. Expel the desire for vengeance. Make me forgiving that I may be forgiven. Eradicate temptation to all uncleanliness. Do not turn away from me Oh God. Instead restore me to Thy favor. Give me intelligence that I may understand. Neaten the way before me that I may see clearly the path that I must take. I know I have disappointed You Oh Lord. Teach me Your ways that I may be pleasing in Your sight. You alone are my God and You are all I need. Amen
