May your eyes look kindly upon this
family, Lord, for we need your love
and guidance in our lives. This is
a family that seeks to do the right
things---to work hard for a living,
to raise children who will contribute
to society, and to be a blessing in
our neighborhood. But we know we need your
constant help to do these things. May we
be filled with love and happiness--- all
of us who live in this house--- by fulfilling
our responsibilities, day in and day out;
by being accountable in all our actions;
by giving whenever we can, even when it hurts;
by nurturing warmth and understanding among us.
And by always looking out for the best interests
of others. Please grant our requests according
to your great goodness.
AMEN
