Most merciful Father in heaven, thank you for your
son, Jesus, whom you sent to die for my sins, even the sins and
failures of this day. I bring before you now all my shortcomings,
my thoughtlessness, selfishness, pride, fear and especially (you
may add specifics here) for which I am truly sorry. Lord, assist
me to recognize these weaknesses before they defeat me again, that
I may call on you for deliverance from them. Thank you for your
mercy and your love in making me acceptable through Jesus Christ,
my Lord and Savior.
Amen.
Let the light of your great love shine on all mankind, and especially
on all members of the Brotherhood of St Andrew. Strengthen each
one to pray faithfully, study your word, and work to spread your
good news everywhere. Be especially gracious to the leaders of this
country-to the President of the United States (name), and to all
others in authority. Continue to enliven your gathered believers,
the Church, and especially the Presiding Bishop (name), our own
diocesan Bishop (name), and all others who have been called to preach
your good news and minister your holy Sacraments. Enlighten the
minds of all believers, and especially my brothers in the Brotherhood
of St Andrew, so that all of us may see clearly the ministry you
have set before us. Pour out your special blessing on each member
of my family and continue to draw us closer to each other in that
love you showed us when you sent your son, our Savior Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I ask that you continue your protection and blessing
on me and this household this night. Deliver us from fear and anxiety
by the outpouring of your peace and joy. May this night's sleep
refresh us, through Jesus, our Lord and Savior. May the grace of
the Lord Jesus, the love of the Father and the counsel of the Holy
Spirit be the peace and strength of all mankind throughout this
night.
Amen.
