Dear Lord, take from me: idleness of spirit, which destroys time; vanity of thoughts, which hinders Your presence and distracts my attention to prayer. If, while in prayer, I turn away from You in my thoughts, help me; so that this distraction may not be willful. And that, averting my mind, I may not avert my heart from You.
I confess to You, O my Lord God, all the sins of my wickedness committed before You, now and in the past. Forgive me for them for the sake of Your Holy Name, and save my soul, which You have redeemed with Your precious Blood. Do with me according to Your mercy and not according to my evil and wickedness.
I entrust myself to Your mercy. I submit to Your will. In Christ Name, I pray.
Amen
