Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. — Psalm 32:5

LORD JESUS, our Redeemer, be Thou ever-present with us to-day! Thou as the all-seeing Savior art acquainted with all our ways, nothing is unknown to Thee. Thou knowest how sin endangers our lives day by day. Thou knowest how temptations beset us on all sides. Thou knowest how doubts and misgivings fill our heart with distrust. Thou knowest how the cares of life make us anxious for the morrow and forgetful of Thee and Thy glorious promises.  

Lord Jesus, In Thy mercy help us, and grant us grace to look up in faith to Thee. Give us strength to withstand the many sins and temptations of today, help us to cast aside all our cares, and trust with child-like faith in Thee.

Above all, Lord Jesus, forgive us where we have failed in the past, and let us find in Thee our Savior, whose Lifeblood has redeemed us from sin and death. Give us faith to believe that, unworthy though we be, Thy Blood shed on the cross can save us from every sin.

Fill us, Thy pardoned children, with love to Thee and mankind. Keep us faithful in Thy all-saving Word unto our end. We ask all this of Thee, because Thou art our God and our Redeemer. Amen.
