"Our heavenly Father, help us, we pray you, to live so near you that we may never yield to the quick temptations of life which always seize us when we are weak, and seek to conquer us at our weakest point. May we value the blessing of life too much to be swerved from our purpose by momentary temptation. In Jesus' name. Amen."
