Heavenly Father, the Fountain and Source of all living. This night I renew my penitence. Every morning I vow to love You more fervently, to serve You more sincerely, to be more devoted in my life, to be wholly Yours; Yet I soon stumble, slide, and have to confess my weakness, misery and sin. But I bless You that the finished work of Jesus Christ needs no addition from my doings, that His oblation is sufficient satisfaction for my sins. Help me to amend my life, to hate and abhor evil, to flee the sins I confess. Make me more resolute, more watchful, more prayerful. If this day I have been ashamed of Christ and His Word, or have shown unkindness, malice, envy, lack of love, unadvised speech, hasty temper, let it be no stumbling block to others, or dishonour to Your name and Your Holy Gospel. O Lord God Almighty help me to set an upright example that will ever rebuke vice, allure to goodness, and evidence that lovely are the ways of Christ. O God of all creation,, may Your Spirit speak in me that I may speak to You. O Lord Jesus, great high priest, You have opened a new and living way by which a fallen creature can approach You with acceptance. Help me to contemplate the dignity of Your Person, the perfectness of Your sacrifice, the effectiveness of Your intercession. Be with me, and prepare me for all the smiles of prosperity, the frowns of adversity, the losses of substance, the death of friends, the days of darkness, the changes of life, and the last great change of all. May I find Your grace sufficient for all my needs.
