My Lord Jesus,

my faithful God,

I believe in You,

I love You,

I want to walk with You

and do Your will. Amen.

Forgive me, Lord,

for the times when I fail to keep my word.

that causes me to sin against You.

Heal me, Lord,

and strengthen me,

so that my Amen to You

to do Your will with joy in my heart

and with You, always by my side.

Amen.
