Opening Prayer O gracious Light, pure brightness of the ever-living Father in heaven, O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed! Now as I come to the setting of the sun, and my eyes behold the evening light, I sing your praises O God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You are worthy at all times to be praised by happy voices, O Son of God, O Giver of life, and to be glorified throughout the world. The Prayer of Confession Most merciful God, I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have failed to do. I have not loved you with my whole heart. I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry, and I humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. AMEN. Words of Reassurance If anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for the sins of the whole world. —1 John 2:1b-2, NIV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. —1 John 1:9, NIV |

Lord God, Maker and King of the universe, to whom all honor, glory, praise, and worship are due; it is a right and proper thing, at all times, in all places, and in all circumstances, to give you my most hearty thanks and praise, especially for your Son Jesus Christ, who died to take away my sins and the sins of the entire world. He rose again from the dead and sits at your right hand where He rules over all things, including the things I cannot understand. Lord Jesus, you calmed the raging storm and tamed the surging sea—calm the tempest of indecision and cure the seasickness within my soul . Forgive my faint-heartedness. Grant me not just the courage to do the right thing, but also the wisdom to figure out just what that right thing is. Reassure me, Lord, that even if the right course of action hurts me in the short run, that you will ultimately reward my faithfulness and keep me safe. O Lord, your Holy Word commands me to be joyful in all things, and to give thanks for trials and hardships. I understand that life is a test, that you only give a hard test to a good student, that you never trip up a slow student with an impossibly difficult test—so I rejoice that you have found me a worthy student. I thank you for refining me in the fire as one refines gold, because it means that in your sight I am as valuable as gold. Therefore, I thank you for the hardships that beset me, because I know you sent them to train and improve me. I am especially grateful for these hardships. Grant me wisdom and insight to understand the ultimate benefit you bring me through these hardships. Lord, when you hung upon the cross, you experienced the most piercing form of loneliness and abandonment ever experienced by any human being. Have mercy on me, even though the loneliness that overwhelms me is only a pale shadow of the loneliness you must have felt. Lord, my heart aches for fellowship. I grow discouraged, because there are few to share with. Grant me fellowship with others. Lord, when the soldiers came for you in the garden, you experienced the pain of the betrayer’s metaphorical knife in the back. Have mercy on me, even though I experience is only a shadow of the betrayal you felt. Help me to forgive my enemies. Keep me from participating in their sin by giving me the forbearance not to return their deeds in kind. Grant me the wisdom to find a way to repair or transcend the situation. Lord, you came to your creatures, your own handiwork, and they rejected you. They disobeyed your commandments, they distrusted your providence, they spurned your love, they misunderstood your message, they ignored your teachings, they denied you under pressure, and finally they betrayed you and set you up to die. Therefore, you understand how I am downcast. In that moment when you asked your disciples if they would leave you too, you understood what it is like to be overcome by rejection to the point of doubting even your most trusted allies. Therefore you understand why I am anxious that you will reject me, too. Reassure me Lord, that you accept me. Help me to climb a tree, as Zacchaeus did, to look over the heads of those who reject me and to seek acceptance only from you. Help me also to look down upon the people who reject me, to forgive their pettiness, and to love them as your lost little lambs. Drive far from me all snares of the enemy; send your Holy Spirit to fill me, to guide and strengthen me, to protect me from my own weaknesses; send your holy angels to counsel and defend me. Send me into the world to do your will. Pray thanksgivings and petitions for yourself and others. I do not ask these things on my own authority, for before you I have none, but in the name of your only begotten Son Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in your glory, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, as one God, now and forever, AMEN. Conclude with the Lord’s Prayer: Our Father, who is in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your Kingdom come, your will be done, On earth, as it is in heaven. Give me this day my daily bread, And forgive me my sins, as I forgive those who sin against me. Keep me from being tempted beyond my ability to prevail, And deliver me from evil, For yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, Forever, AMEN. The Collect Lord Jesus, stay with me, for evening is at hand and the day is past. Be my companion in the way, that I may know you as you are revealed in Scripture and in the breaking of bread. Grant this for the sake of your love. AMEN. The almighty and merciful Lord—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—bless me and keep me. AMEN. |
