Youth and Kids Spiritist Education
“Dear Lord,
Grant me awareness of my many mistakes.
Don't allow me to live deluded about
myself.
May I have enough lucidity to know who I
am.
May I achieve more than others, detect the
weaknesses that are common to me.
Give me your strength so that I can
overcome myself, your light so I don't walk
in darkness, your peace in the struggle that
afflicts me.
May I always be sincere in my purposes and humble in
my attitudes, true in my words and faithful to my
commitments.
Lord, do not leave me to the invigilance and harassment
of evil.
Be my shelter and my inspiration!...
So be it."
Let’s pray
