Faithful God, whose mercies are new to us every morning, we humbly pray that You look upon us in mercy and renew us by Your Holy Spirit; keep safe our going out and coming in and let Your blessing remain with us through this day; preserve us in Your righteousness and grant us a portion in that eternal life which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Amen.

Almighty God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness and put upon ourselves the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which Your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility, that in the last day, when He shall come again in glory to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to life immortal; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

O Lord, You promise to hear and answer our petitions. We therefore entreat You especially for our brothers and sisters who suffer sickness, loneliness, anxiety or fear of death. Let them know the comfort which only You can afford them, that they may meet their trials with courage and trust in You, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

O Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, You have safely brought us to the beginning of this day; defend us in the same with Your mighty power and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger, but that all our doings, being ordered by Your governance, may be righteous in Your sight; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Amen.
