Question
ALMIGHTY FATHER WE THANK YOU ,PROTECT US AND KEEP US THIS DAY AND FOREVER.AMEN

Answer
Hello,

Here’s the Latin translation you asked me:

“Agimus tibi gratias, Omnipotens Pater, protege nos, quaesumus, atque hodie et semper defende nos. Amen

Best regards,
Maria
_______________________________________________________
Note that:
-ALMIGHTY = OMNIPOTENS (vocative case)
-FATHER = PATER (vocative, 3rd.declension)
-WE THANK = GRATIAS AGIMUS
-YOU = TIBI
-PROTECT = PROTEGE (2nd.person singular, imperative of PROTEGO)
-US = NOS (direct object , accusative case)
-AND =ATQUE
-KEEP = DEFENDE (2nd.person singular, imperative of  DEFENDO)
-US = NOS ( see above)
-THIS DAY = HODIE
-AND = ET
-FOREVER = SEMPER
-AMEN = AMEN

I’ve added QUAESUMUS meaning “we pray you”.

As you can see, Latin word order can be  different from English since Latin  is  an inflected language where syntactical relationships are indicated by the endings of each term, not by the order of the words.
