Loving and merciful Father, forgive our foolish ways. Reclothe us in our rightful mind, in purer lives at Your service, in deeper reverence praise, in simple trust let without a word rise up and follow You...

Forgive that even as a child, i have been foolish about many thngs but did not know. And now i see such strong willed foolishness in my own kids. Please forgive and deliver from these, we ask. Only You can cleanse our hearts and minds and make us a new person. Help us.
