From the torment of shame and guilt…
From the torment of cheating and lying…
From the torment of our unbelief and pride…
From the torment of our negative behaviors…
From the torment of ignoring the stranger…
From the torment of judging and labeling other people…
From the torment of condemning and mistrusting others…
From the torment of not loving our family…
From the torment of jealousy and jumping to false conclusions…
From the torment of envy and resentment…
From the torment of political corruption …
From the torment of hostility among nations…
From the torment of indifference to the suffering of others…
From the torment of hatred toward our neighbors…
From the torment of violence and war…
From the torment of our lack of attention toward the ill…
From the torment of our lack of concern for the elderly…
From the torment of our lack of care for people with disabilities…
And from all evil…
And from all evil…
And from all evil…
