A Persion Prayer

All that we ough to have thought, and have not thought,
All that we ought to have said, and have not said,
All that we ought to have done, and have not done;

All that we ought not to have thought, and yet have though,
All that we ought not to have spoken, and yet have spoken,
All that we ought not to have done, and yet have done;

For thoughts, words, and works, pray we, O God, for forgiveness.

~A Persian Prayer

Indeed, this very much applies to my day today.  While I've been biting my tongue, my thoughts have not been kind, and God knows my intentions even though I don't say them out loud.
