A Prayer from the Desert

Lord Jesus Christ, whose will all things obey: pardon what I have done and grant that I, a sinner, may sin no more.
Lord, I believe that though I do not deserve it, you can cleanse me from all my sins.
Lord, I know that man looks upon the face, but you see the heart.
Send your spirit into my inmost being, to take possession of my soul and body.
Without you I cannot be saved; with you to protect me, I long for your salvation.
And now I ask you for your salvation.
And now I ask you for wisdom, deign of your great goodness to help and defend me.
Guide my heart, almighty God, that I may remember your presence day and night.
