Evening Prayer

O God, give me grace at this time duly to confess my sins before Thee, and truly to repent of them. Blot out of Thy book, gracious Lord, all my manifold acts of sin committed against Thee. Forgive me all my wanderings in prayer, my sins of omission, my deliberate sins against conscience.

Give me eyes to see what is right, and a heart to follow it, and strength to perform it; and grant that I may in all things press forward in the work of sanctification and ever do Thy will, and at length through Thy mercy attain to the glories of Thy everlasting Kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord.
