Lutheran Church -- Prayers and devotions; Prayers
O righteous and gracious God, I heartily acknowledge, that I am not only
conceived and born in sin, but have on account of human weakness in
various ways transgressed Thy holy ten commandments in thoughts, words
and actions, so that I have not only deserved this my sickness and other
temporal affliction, but have also deserved everlasting punishment. But
since Thy dear Son, my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ, has made
satisfaction for all my sins, original and actual, with His precious
merits and holy blood; I beseech Thee, that Thou wouldst for His sake be
gracious unto me, and of Thy great mercy, forgive my temporal and eternal
punishment. Guide me by Thy Holy Spirit, that I may separate myself from
the great multitude of the ungodly, that I may strive after the true
faith showing itself in good works; but especially that I may be patient
under afflictions, fight a good fight, keep the faith and a good
conscience, and finally live in Thy tabernacle forever. Do Thou alleviate
my bodily pains according to Thy good will, and help me that I may bear
my afflictions, for Jesus' sake. Amen.
11. At Eleven O'clock.
O faithful Lord Jesus, who didst often and powerfully comfort Thy
disciples after Thy resurrection, and doest invite the weary and
heavy-laden to Thee, and doest promise to comfort them: O do Thou visit
me in my sickness, comfort and refresh me; Thou alone art my refuge, my
counsel and my help. I yearn for the evening time of a blessed death, and
long for the joyful resurrection of my body. O let me early experience
these my requests, then will I forever praise Thee with the Father and
the Holy Ghost. Amen.
12. At Twelve O'clock.
Dearest Lord Jesus, I heartily thank Thee, that Thou hast revealed
Thyself to me in the writings of the holy Prophets and Apostles, so that
I can believe in Thee, and through faith obtain everlasting life. I
beseech Thee, that Thou wouldst preserve me steadfast in true faith, that
I may attain the end thereof, everlasting salvation. Make me cheerful and
ready, so that when Thou, my dear bridegroom, doest come, that I may meet
Thee with joy; lead me to Thy heavenly wedding-feast, where I will love
and praise Thee. Amen.
59. Thanksgiving after Recovery.
