Mighty God,
I humble myself for faculties misused, opportunities neglected, words ill-advised.
I repent of my folly and inconsiderate ways, my broken resolutions, untrue service, my backsliding steps, my vain thoughts.
O bury my sins in the ocean of Jesus' blood and let no evil result from my fretful temper, unseemly behavior, provoking pettiness.
Cement my oneness with my blessed Lord, that faith may adhere to him immovably,
that love may entwine itself round him more tightly,
that his Spirit may pervade every fiber of my being.
Then send me out to make him known to my fellow-men.
--from "Humility in Service" in The Valley of Vision
