Dear God, please give me the wisdom and strength to always know what is good and right. Help me to have the courage to act on that knowledge and not turn away from doing good. Forgive me when I fall short and give me the grace to keep striving towards righteousness. May I never be guilty of the sin of knowing what is good and failing to do it. Amen.
