Empower Us to Live according to Your Will

Grant to us, Lord,
the spirit to think and do what is right.
We cannot do anything good without you.
Empower us to live according to your will;
through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever. Amen.
