I commit myself this morning and all the days of my life into Thy hands,
O God, the eternal Father who hast created me, O God, the eternal Son who
hast redeemed me, O God, the Holy Ghost who hast sanctified me in holy
baptism. O eternal Godhead, O perfect humanity, O holy Trinity, ever keep
me ready to enter into everlasting salvation. Amen.
Good and merciful God, affectionate Father, by Thy grace I have passed
another night and again behold the cheering light. Thanks be unto Thee,
that Thou hast been my keeper and protector, comforter and helper, that
Thou hast as a Father kept my sick body, together with my distressed
soul, by Thy power hast kept me from sudden death and dangerous
temptations, and that Thy holy angel has defended me against the devil,
the prince of darkness. By Thy grace and mercy I still live. Watch over
me Thy poor creature to-day also, and so lead and guide me that I may
neither think, speak, nor do evil. Lead me, the poor one of Thy flock, to
Thy holy Word, and cause me to lie down in its green pastures, for this
is my comfort in my distress. Preserve me, O God, for in Thee do I put my
trust, Thou, and Thou alone, art my strength, my God and my noblest
treasure. Fill my heart and mind with fear and love to Thee. Separate me
from all things not purely Thine. Hide me in Thyself, that in my trouble
and affliction I may submit to Thy will, and trust in Thee alone, for
besides Thee there is no other help in all the world. Thou art the true
physician of the sick, the true comforter in every distress, the true
helper in the hour of death. Beloved Father, heal me, comfort me, help
me. Keep me this day from sin and all evil, from the wiles of the devil,
from the temptations of the world and from the evil lusts of my own
sinful flesh. Give patience, hope and constancy. And when my life is at
an end give me an easy and blessed death through Jesus Christ, Thy dear
Son, my Redeemer. Amen.
