NIGHT PRAYER: Wednesday 3/4

 

As I look back on this day, Lord,
    I ask that in your mercy
you pardon my sins...

Forgive the sins I remember
    and any that I have forgotten…

Forgive the ways I wronged my neighbor
    and the good I failed to accomplish…

Forgive my weakness
    in the time when I was tempted...

Forgive my stubborn response
    when I was faced with correction...

Forgive the pride I took in myself
    and my failure to praise my neighbor's good work...

Forgive the lies and fibs I told
    and the times I avoided and skirted the truth…

Forgive the harsh judgements I made of others
    and the permissive ways I excused myself...

Forgive the times I ignored my neighbor
    and all the ways I indulged myself...

(Let's each of us take a few moments here
to remember the sins of this day...)

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me:
in your kindness, pardon my sins...

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace…

Amen.
