Lutheran Church -- Prayers and devotions; Prayers
Holy and faithful God, heavenly Father! I most heartily praise, honor and
adore Thee, that during the past night Thou hast permitted me to rest and
sleep in safety, and by Thy fatherly love hast awakened me again
refreshed and in the enjoyment of health. I most heartily pray Thee that
Thou wouldst this day also and always graciously preserve me together
with (my dear parents, brothers and sisters, and) all true Christians
from all danger and harm both of body and soul, in order that I may
always be found in Thy will. For I commend myself, my body and soul,
heart, sense, mind and thoughts, all my strivings and aspirations, all I
do and all I leave undone, my going in and coming out, my life and death,
and everything that I am and can do, to Thy divine protection. May Thy
holy angel be and remain with me, that no misfortune may befall me either
in body or soul. Grant this for the sake of Jesus Christ, Thy dear Son.
Amen.
6. Monday Evening Prayer.
Merciful God, gracious Father! I heartily thank Thee that during the past
day and up to the present hour Thou hast graciously protected me from all
danger and harm of body and soul, and pray Thee, that, for the sake of
Jesus Christ, Thy dear Son, Thou wouldst graciously forgive all the sins
which I have this day again committed against Thee in thoughts, words and
deeds, and let them be remembered against me no more. And as I am now
about to lie down to rest, I pray, Thou wouldst this night also protect
and defend me from all harm and danger of body and soul, so that, being
defended against the wiles and power of the devil, against evil, harmful
and wicked dreams, I may safely rest and sleep this night, and awake
again refreshed and in health to Thy honor. I now commend myself entirely
into Thy divine hand; Thou hast redeemed me, Thou faithful God. Amen.
7. Tuesday Morning Prayer.
Lord Jesus Christ, Thou only Saviour of the world! to Thee I lift my
heart and mind, and thank Thee again, that Thou hast by Thy boundless
mercy and love kept me safe and secure this night from the wiles and
power of the wicked one. Lord Jesus Christ, Thou art the portion of my
inheritance, my salvation is in Thy hands, and besides Thee I know of no
Helper in heaven or on earth. Therefore I pray Thee for the sake of Thy
unutterable suffering and anguish, of Thy most painful and bitter death,
which in great love Thou didst suffer for me, that Thou wouldst be
gracious and merciful unto me, and this day and through my whole life
bless, spare, preserve and keep me from all sin and evil in this world of
sorrow, until Thou shalt take me to eternal joy and blessedness, for Thy
most holy name's sake. Amen.
