Question
how do i say " father shine over me or watch over me and don't let me fall again  

Answer
Hello,

Here’s the translation you asked me:

1-“Pater, illumina me quaeso et fac ne rursus cadam”
(Father, shine over me and don't let me fall again)

2-“Pater, custodi me quaeso et  fac ne rursus cadam”
(Father, watch over me and don't let me fall again)

Best,
Maria
___________________________________________
Father = PATER
shine over / watch over = ILLUMINA / CUSTODI
me = ME
and = ET
don't let = FAC
me fall= NE CADAM
again = RURSUS

Please note that in Latin I‘ve added the interjection QUAESO as a polite expression of entreaty meaning ‘I beseech you', ‘I pray'.
