Dowa

Save me, my Lord,
   from the earthly passions and the
   attachments which blind mankind.
Save me, my Lord,
   from the temptations of power, fame, and wealth,
   which keep man away from Thy Glorious Vision.
Save me, my Lord,
   from the souls who are constantly occupied in
   hurting and harming their fellow-man,
   and who take pleasure in the pain of another.
Save me, my Lord,
   from the evil eye of envy and jealousy,
   which falleth upon Thy bountiful Gifts.
Save me, my Lord,
   from falling into the hands of the playful children of earth,
   lest they might use me in their games;
   they might play with me and then break me in the end,
   as children destroy their toys.
Save me, my Lord,
   from all manner of injury that cometh
   from the bitterness of my adversaries
   and from the ignorance of my loving friends.

Amen

Because of the modern awareness of, and sensitivity to, wording which is, or might be perceived as, gender specific (typically masculine) there is an alternative version of this prayer which may be used.

Save me, my Lord,
