Scan device for viruses and malware.
Sieve my soul of all impurities.
Filter the mind of all evil thoughts.
Distillate the contents and intents of my heart :

Test by Holy Fire all my works.

Install a firewall all around my soul,
Even a speck of sin - Oh Lord, do not ignore !

Reboot my Spirit :
Take control and account of whatever that's in it.

Recharge my zeal,
Lubricate my will;

Let Faith be the wheel
That my life will roll on still,

Instill an ever smoldering Love that will keep even my enemies warm ;

Give me an eternal Hope that will keep me forever strong.
***
The journey is always gritty at the start,
So hear me out oh Lord -
I'm not praying for a headstart ;
I'm praying for perseverance in the race.
For it's not about how long I've run, but how strong I've become in the long run.

No Burnouts -
I don't want my soul to fail,
So let your Mercy and Glory and Power prevail.

Let your Holy Spirit be my proxy -
Acting on my behalf and fighting all the wars that I cannot see.

Sanctify me wholly,
and make my life your Holy sanctuary.

Strip me naked and clothe me in Righteousness.
Lead me on by your Grace.
In this journey - Lord - be my strength.
