Bless me, heavenly father –
    forgive my erring ways.
Grant me strength to serve Thee,
    put purpose in my days.
Give me understanding,
    enough to make me kind.
So I may judge all people
     with my heart not my mind.
Teach me to be patient
    in everything I do,
Content to trust Your wisdom
    and to follow after You.
Help me when I falter
    and hear me when I pray,
And receive me in Thy kingdom
    to dwell with Thee someday.
Amen.
