For Right Intentions in Prayer
GRANT, O Lord, that our petitions may always be for those things that may fit us to please Thee, and not for such as may be the fittest to please ourselves; and for an accumulation of blessings, so influence our souls with Thy Divine Spirit, that Thy will may ever be our pleasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
