O God,
you know my weakness.
I am poor and destitute.
I cannot do or think anything good without you.
Help and strengthen me with your grace,
that I may resolve
not only to avoid the evil you forbid,
but also to do the good you command. Amen.

Original in traditional English:
Thou knowest, O God, my weakness; that I am poor and destitute; that I cannot do, nor even think of any good without Thee; arise, then, up to help me; strengthen me with Thy grace, that I may fervently execute what I have firmly resolved, and not only avoid all the evil Thou forbiddest, but also perform all the good Thou commandest. Amen.
A Collection of Prayers 
Hi, my name is Ryan; and, I’ve reposted one or two of your prayers on my site in the past (I follow this feed fairly regularly). But, today I just noticed you were from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, only thirty minutes or so from Rio, where I currently reside. Anyways, I’m always encouraged to read these. Thanks for you diligence in posting.
