God, we give thanks to thee, in thy life and hy salvation that thou offers us, even though we are unworthy.

Forgive us, Lord God, in grace and the solomn promise of our ways, and give us our hope, our blessings, and Our Joy.

I grant thee peace oh Lord, and ask thy peace, Amen.

Please clarify.

What does this phrase, never before read by me, mean? "the solomn promise of our ways"

Also, "I grant thee peace oh Lord." What? How can a human being grant peace to God?

Sir or madam, I think that you need to use clearer language. I suggest that you use phrases easily understood by all.

It is also a Catholic custom to keep private prayers private, because this prevents accidental theological errors (that sometimes creep into private prayers) from being spread. It would be imprudent (and even perhaps against Canon Law) for them to be placed in printed form for dissemination, or, by analogy, to be "printed" here. For public oral use and publication in print and online, we have liturgical prayers and other prayers that are published with "ecclesiastical permission."

"I grant thee peace', or "Shalom" is a standard Jewish greeting, as well as supplicaiton. I am offering peace with God form myself, and not rebellion. The solomn Promise of pur ways is also form my Jewish portion fo my Background, it is a reference tot he covenant we each make to God individually, and collectively as God's people.

Sorry, this particular prayer has some Jewish overtones, but is written in high ( Archaic) english.

Howevedr, it is free form Doctoranal error, as these references are common in Jewish, and early Chrisain, prayers.

Its also not direclty a personal prayer, oen day I may have it published.
