Prayer for Wednesday.

GRACIOUS and Almighty God, Merciful Father in heaven, with my whole heart I render unto Thee all praise and laud and honor that Thou hast preserved me throughout the night now past under the protection of Thy holy angels, and permitted me to see the light of this day in health and strength. I beseech Thee, Heavenly Father, to Whose will I submit all things begun or ended by me, and all that I may do or leave undone, grant me Thy continued grace; and, by Thy Holy Spirit, so rule and govern all my thoughts and purposes, my heart, mind, energies, and desires, together with every word and deed, that I may ever recognize what is good and what is evil; so that I may this day walk here amid this evil and perverse world, free from all transgression, keeping in mind the hearty desire toward my heavenly home, which Christ, my Savior, has obtained and merited for me, and that I may never by an evil and sinful life forfeit the same. Unto all this help me graciously by the love and power of Thy Holy Spirit, for the sake of Jesus Christ, Thy well beloved Son. Amen.
