After making our review we ask God’s forgiveness and inquire what corrective measures should be taken if any.
We say a prayer: “God please forgive me for my failings today. I know that because my failings I was not able to be as effective as I could have been for you. Please forgive me and help me live thy will better tomorrow.
Father, I ask that you now show me how to correct the errors I have just outlined. Guide me and direct me. Please remove my arrogance and my fear.
Show me how to make my relationships right, and grant me the humility and the strength to do thy will, Amen
