Forgive me all my sins and short comings. Blot them from the book of Thy remembrance forever. Accept of my thanks and my gratitude for my life, my being, and all that I enjoy... Give me the gift of discernment that I may never be deceived. Give me Thy Holy Spirit within me as a well of water springing up unto eternal life. Clothe me with charity as with a mantle. Fill me with hope. Let Thy love and peace flow into my bosom as the waters flow into the great deep. Give me faith and strength to perform all things that are expedient which a fullness of Thy priesthood shall direct... Pleading to Thee that I may walk in meekness and humility... to Thee I dedicate myself, with all that I have and am and that pertaineth unto me in the name of Thy Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth both now and forever, praying for the same blessing upon my household as upon myself, that thou will preserve us in the faith, in the day of usefulness, and save us in the end in Thy presence. .. Give unto me power to bring souls unto Thee whilst the world stands... Remember this land and bless it to Thy people, the remnants of Joseph. Take the scales from their eyes, the yoke from their necks, and the curse from off their heads. Pour out Thy Holy Spirit upon them... Give unto the elders power to declare Thy gospel... Bless Zion. Rebuke the destroyer in the habitations of Thy Saints. Confound our enemies, stay their hands from doing us harm. These and all other things that it is Thy good pleasure bestow in the redemption of Thy kingdom and people and the honor and glory is Thine forever.
