O God, help us to live towards you in all devotion, confidence, obedience, resignation, and simple childlike trust. Help us to love you with all our heart, and soul, and mind.
Enable us also to live to our fellow men according to your word, loving our neighbor as ourselves. Save us from all unneighborly tempers, all hard thoughts, all slanderous words. Deliver us from bearing any anger in our heart: save us from everything that is ungenerous or unkind, and let the law of love be written on the fleshy tablets of our renewed heart, and be carried out in all the thoughts and words and acts of our lives.
