all my good experiences, and divide the truths from the false, fact from fiction. Can you differentiate between good goals and bad, and help me find the shortest path between a and b. For this, I shall always calculate my devotion to you as the summation of all my great achievements. Amen. Dear God, Im sorry I added a few items on my list of sins. I promise to subtract my wrong doings. May you continue to multiply your blessings on me so that I may divide them equally to my brothers and sisters. This I ask in your most Holy Name. Amen.
