If you ask the 67th Intelligence Wing (USAF), they'll translate it:

Thanks George!

Great to see you btw; would you confirm that "Ex tenebris lux" is equally acceptable in Latin?

...and good to see you, Helen.

I would expect to see e tenebris lux as ex was generally
used when the word following began with a vowel.

Wouldn't want to argue with you on Latin, George, but some dicta at least have consonants after "ex" as in:

"Ex nihilo nihil fit", "Ex machina" "Ex cathedra".

This said with trepidation, knowing you to be a far better Latinist than me Smile

No argument here. (I so seldom get what I expect.)
Ex and ab would be found before vowels, but that should not lead me to
expect e and a as regularly before consonants.

Could someone please translate this phrase from English to latin?

For all the things I should have thought and never thought.
For all the things I should have said and never said.
For all the things I should have done and never did.
Please God let me live these next few moments well
