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.
