Please, God, forgive me and understand that I choose to lie in order to protect my mother’s memory and to protect myself.

I even ask you to give me the strength to do this before others in court.

Please forgive my selfishness, my pride, and my cruelty.

Please remove the darkness all my sins have left on my soul.

I only want some peace and security after a lifetime of sacrifice.

If You can show me a way without lying, please, please, lead me there now.

My sister & brother have won in life’s game, and now they would take what little Mom left me unless I lie.

Forgive me, and I embrace this sin.
