of this life, give me grace to set thee always before my eyes, that I may not sin against thee. Thou knowest, Lord, the weakness of my corrupt nature; O let thy Holy Spirit powerfully restrain me from those sins that are most apt to betray and ensnare me: [Particularly-here mention the sins you are most prone to.] Preserve me in my going out, and coming in, and let no casualty or evil accident befal me. Be thou graciously pleased to take me, and all belonging to me, into thy fatherly care and protection: keep us in health and safety, in peace and innocence, in love and charity; and grant, that whilst we are passing through things temporal, we may be daily preparing for those better things that are eternal, through Jesus Christ our blessed Lord, and only Saviour; in whose name and words, I commend to thy mercy and protection, myself and all mankind.

Th

my dear Redeemer make satisfaction for me; and for his sake, I most earnestly beseech thee to be merciful unto me in the pardon and forgiveness of all my sins. Lay not to my charge, O Lord, the sins which I have this day been guilty of; but let those, and all other the follies of my life past, be for ever blotted out of thy remembrance; and receive me, 1 beseech thee, into thy favour, which I value above all the happiness of this world.

Give me a lively sense of the folly and danger of sin, that I may truly and sincerely abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good, and with an unwearied diligence follow after the things which make for my everlasting peace.

But, O Lord, because I am a weak and frail creature, and am encompassed about with many temptations, O do thou vouchsafe to strengthen and assist me with thy grace, that through thy most mighty power, I may be enabled to withstand all the allurements of the world, the flesh, and the devil; [particularly -here name the sins you are most prone to.] Let thy Holy Spirit direct and rule my heart, that I may think and do always such things as be rightful, and please thee both in will and in deed.

Thou never failest to help and govern them who Av unto thee for succour: O keep me. J
