Lutheran Church -- Prayers and devotions; Prayers
I will praise Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify
Thy name forevermore. I will praise Thee for ever, because Thou canst do
all things well. Behold, instead of peace I had great bitterness, but
Thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption. In
my distress I called unto Thee, and Thou hast heard my voice, and my cry
did enter into Thy ears, and Thou hast comforted me. Thou hast faithfully
helped me, in mercy upheld my soul, and finally delivered me out of my
great tribulation. My Lord and my God, what shall I render unto Thee for
all the benefits which Thou daily bestowest? I will praise Thy name all
the days of my life, I will magnify Thee among all Thy people, and Thy
glory shall continually be in my mouth. Thy Spirit, O faithful God,
enable me to pay my vows and never to forget the benefits Thou hast
bestowed upon my soul. Let me spread Thy praise in time, and also in
Eternity, together with the elect, sing everlasting Hallelujahs to the
honor of Thy name. Amen.
52. Morning Prayer of a sick Person.
O Thou faithful God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! I will thank and
praise Thee that Thou hast so mercifully kept, protected and strengthened
me in my weakness. In Jesus' name, turn unto me to-day and the remaining
days of my life, cleanse me from my sin, comfort me by Thy grace,
strengthen me by Thy power, lead me by Thy Holy Spirit, that I may live
and suffer in accordance with Thy will. I commit my sick body and my soul
into Thy holy hands, let Thy holy angel have charge concerning me that
the wicked one may have no power or influence over me, through Jesus
Christ, our only comfort and Redeemer, in the power of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
53. Another Morning Prayer in Sickness.
I commit myself this morning and all the days of my life into Thy hands,
O God, the eternal Father who hast created me, O God, the eternal Son who
hast redeemed me, O God, the Holy Ghost who hast sanctified me in holy
baptism. O eternal Godhead, O perfect humanity, O holy Trinity, ever keep
me ready to enter into everlasting salvation. Amen.
