Heavenly Father, Almighty God,
I humble myself before Your Presence.
What a joy it is to come to You.
I thank You and I praise Your infinite Majesty,
Omnipotence and Perfections.
Please forgive me of all my sins.
Lord I come to You in my nothingness.
I want to worship You and adore You,
to love You with all my heart,
with all my mind, with all my soul
and with all my strength.
I want to burn with desire for You like an angel.
I need You my Lord, I am nothing without You.
I ask You to raise me before Your Glory.
Shine Your light upon me,
allow me to walk with You
and always do Your Holy Will.
Protect me and bless me O Merciful Lord.
Fill me with Your Holy Spirit,
grant me peace, love and joy.
Heal me, bless me and sanctify me O Lord;
make me a blessing for all those around me.
Amen.
