Come, Lord Jesus,

take away scandals from Your Kingdom, which is my soul,

and reign there,

You who alone have the right.

For greediness comes to claim a throne within me;

haughtiness and self-assertion would rule over me;

pride would be my king;

lust says, "I will reign";

ambition, detraction, envy and anger  struggle within me for mastery.

I resist as far as I am able; I struggle according as help is given me;

I call on my Lord, Jesus;

for His sake I defend myself, since I acknowledge myself as wholly His posession.

He is my God, Him I proclaim my Lord;

I have no other king than my Lord, Jesus Christ.

Come then, O Lord, and disperse these enemies by Your power,

and You shall reign in me, for You are my King and my God.

Amen
