I pray my words to You, dear LORD,
won't be perfunctory,
and that my actions, thoughts, and deeds
aren't done haphazardly.
I pray I never grieve You, LORD,
nor bring You any shame.
I pray that I will glorify
Your highly honored Name.
I pray that I will praise You, LORD
and give my thanks to You.
I'm ever grateful for Your love
and for Your mercy, too.
I pray You grant me wisdom, LORD—
Your blessings with each day.
I ask You for Your guidance, too,
and promise to obey.
I pray I set my eyes on You
while seeking You each day,
and when I kneel before Your Throne
please hear each prayer I pray.
