Gracious God, Our Father in Heaven, we bless Thee that hour by hour our lives have been enriched with the knowledge of Him who graciously interpreted the Infinite in our finite minds, and Who in reconciling love and saving mercy, brought us near to our Father in Heaven.

Remember our willfulness of heart and proneness to sin, we would humble ourselves before Thee. Though, indeed, we have sought to do Thy holy will, yet we have fallen short in many things. We now confess our sins: “forgive us our trespasses.”

Once again, we ask that by the Holy Spirit given unto us, we may find our delight in the ways of God, and so be enabled in our daily walk to commend the Gospel of Christ to those among whom we move.

Further, we beseech Thee to hear us on behalf of our loved ones far and near, that we may share the blessings which we now ask for ourselves. And may Thy Kingdom come, and Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

These and other favors we beg in the Name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen
