The most updated form of the Slade’s Own Prayer

Dear Lord God,

Please deliver me from every temptation.

Please deliver me from every evil.

Please help me to find the spirit of love within my own heart.

Please put silence into my mouth when I have nothing to say, and le mot juste when I do. 

Please help me to just tell the truth.

Please let me listen only to thee and obey thy commands.

Please let me mind only my own business.

Please let me mind only my own behavior.

Please cure me of the disease of ego.

Please forgive me of all sin, absolve my guilt, and let me overcome my past regret.

Please stop me from anxiously awaiting the future, from dwelling on the past, and remind me that the present is all we have.

Please rip off the band aid of punishment for my past sin at the most comfortable rate.

Please let me forgive the others for their wrongs, and remind them that I am sorry for my own.

Finally, please let me just say thank you for what I do have.

Amen, Lord.
