Lord, Creator of life, I lift my heart to You in gratitude for the beauty of the world and for the goodness and peace that dwell in Your design. I confess that many times I have strayed in my choices, harming myself and others, and the traces of wrongdoing still weigh upon my days. That is why I turn to You now and ask: protect me from all that corrupts my soul and weakens my body. Shelter me in the refuge of Your love.

Guard my soul. Purify my heart from pride, envy, anger and resentment. Teach me to forgive and to seek forgiveness when I have failed. Heal the wounds carried in my memory, loosen the knots of fear and guilt, so that my conscience may be clear and my spirit simple and free. You have lifted me whenever I have fallen – let me trust always that Your mercy is greater than my weakness.

Bless my mind. Quiet the restless storm of intrusive thoughts, transform anxiety into trust, and confusion into wise discernment. Grant me inner order: a balanced rhythm of work and rest, the gift of healthy sleep, and patience in times of struggle. Protect me from afflictions of the psyche – from discouragement, despair, addiction, or crushing stress. Strengthen my will to choose what is good and give me courage to seek help when I cannot carry burdens alone.

Watch over my body. Fortify my resilience, protect my breath, my heart and circulation, my bones and joints, my nerves and senses. Guard every cell, every organ, every tissue. If something is ill, may it be restored; if something is weak, may it be strengthened. Grant me wisdom to care for the daily health of my life – to embrace movement, rest, nourishment and sobriety in my choices. Lead me toward those who heal and support, and bless their hands with wisdom and compassion.

Renew my relationships. May my words bring peace rather than wound. Teach me to listen with care and to speak truth with gentleness. Protect me from gossip and reckless judgment. If I have hurt a loved one, give me the courage to apologize and to make amends. Let my heart always hold a place for a parent, a child, a sibling, a friend, for every person entrusted to me who longs for encouragement and comfort.

I thank You for every day of health, for the skill of my hands, for clarity of thought and strength for my responsibilities. I thank You also for moments of weakness, which teach humility and open me toward others. If suffering comes, let me bear it with hope, without closing in on myself or losing trust in You.

Lord, You are my shield and my healing. I entrust to You who I was, who I am, and who I will be. Guard me from the sickness of soul and body, so that I may serve You and the good of others in peace. May Your light guide me on every path, and may Your blessing rest upon me and upon those You have placed in my care.

Now and in every day to come.

Amen.
