Dear Lord,
We thank you a hundredfold for the love and care that
You have given us.
May we return to you, your good works by,
MULTIPLYING it with love and respect.
ADDING more faith,
SUBTRACTING the unworldly behavior and evil
works but
DIVIDING Your given talents to others.
So we can sum them all, and be united as one in your
family. In this we pray, AMEN.
