you will fall unless you are held back by God's grace, and that prayer is one way by which we may obtain that grace from Him. O God the Father, Who didst make me, and send Thy Son to redeem me, Have mercy upon me. O God the Son, Who didst die upon the Cross for me, Who now livest to intercede for me, Have mercy upon me. O God the Holy Ghost, Who didst regenerate me, through whom alone I can be holy, Have mercy upon me. O Holy, Blessed, and Glorious Trinity, Three Persons and one God, Have mercy upon me. UR Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed OUR be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and Amen. ever. ALMIGHTY God, Who seest that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves; keep me, and all for whom I am bound to pray, both outwardly in our bodies, and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended, this day, from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. HAVE mercy upon me, O Lord, of Thy great goodness, remember not my past sins, but pardon them for Thy dear Son's sake, and grant that they may never rise up in judgment against me. Defend me throughout this day, and give me grace to spend it in Thy service. Keep me from my besetting sins (especially from -) and, if I fall into temptation, make a way for me to escape, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. SAVIOUR of the world, Who by Thy Cross. and precious Blood hast redeemed me, save me and help me, I humbly beseech Thee, O Lord. THE grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with me now and evermore. Amen. "His compassions fail not, they are new every morning." Lamentations iii. 22, 23. Ebening. Try me, O God, and seek the ground of my heart: prove me and examine my thoughts. Look well if there be any way of wickedness in me and lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm cxxxix. 23, 24. Ask yourself, remembering that you are in God's presence, and that He knows all your thoughts, words, and actions ;— Have I left undone anything which I ought to have done to-day? Have I done anything which I should wish undone at the day of judgment? Have I given way to bad thoughts? Have I done any bad action ? Have I watched against my besetting sins? Has this day been a step towards heaven or towards hell? ¶Then confess your sins to God, saying ;— ALMIGHTY God, Who hast promised to forgive all those who truly repent, have mercy upon me for Thy dear Son's sake; pardon and deliver me from all my sins, especially those which I have this day committed, and make me truly penitent for them; give me grace to amend, and to shew forth the fruits of penitence in my future life, through Jesus Christ my only Lord and Saviour. Amen. Lord, have mercy upon me; OUR Father, Which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and Amen. ever. O God, make speed to save me ; Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. LIGHTEN my darkness, I beseech Thee, O Lord, and by great mercy defend me from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of Thine only Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. LORD, have mercy upon all those for whom I am bound to pray, especially upon the Queen, the Bishops and Pastors of Thy Church, upon all my relations and god-children, and upon those who are in danger and affliction. Give them all things that be needful both for their souls and bodies, and keep us all in the unity of the Spirit, in the bond of peace, and in righteousness of life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ALMIGHTY God, I thank Thee for all the blessings Thou hast given me, especially for those which I have received this day; above all, I bless Thee for the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory; grant that I may shew my thankfulness for all these mercies by striving daily to love Thee more and more, and to shew my love by obedience to Thy holy |
