George Washington's Prayer

 

"Oh, eternal and everlasting God, direct my thoughts, words, and work.
Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the Lamb and purge my
heart by the Holy Spirit.  Daily, frame me more and more in the likeness
of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, that in living in Thy fear and in dying in
Thy favor, I may in Thy appointed time obtain the resurrection of
the justified unto eternal life.  Bless, O Lord the whole race of
mankind and let the world be filled with the knowledge
of Thy Son, Jesus Christ.  Amen.
