10. EVENING PRAYER FOR WEDNESDAY

     O almighty God and benignant Father, I return thanks to Thee for having again this day graciously kept me in body and soul from all harm and ill.  Whatever sin I have committed this day with heart, tongue, or otherwise, against Thee and Thy holy commandments, graciously forgive, I beseech Thee, according to Thy loving-kindness and forsake me not, whom Thou has bought with a price, the precious blood of Thy dear Son Jesus Christ.  Let me rest this night, I pray Thee, under the almighty wings of Thy grace and protect me from the evil Foe, who goeth about as a roaring lion seeking to devour me, that I may rest and sleep securely under the shadow of Thy grace and goodness and the evil Foe may not drawn nigh unto me and harm me.  Amen.
