15. MORNING PRAYER FOR SATURDAY

     O Thou faithful Father in heaven, would that I could render unto Thee adequate thanks and praise for all the blessings Thou has bestowed upon me during all the days of my life up to this hour.  But this is not within my power.  For I am flesh and blood, which cannot but do wrong.  Thou, however, dost daily grant me blessings without measure; in particular, if Thou this night hadst not been my shield and support, Satan would have used his power to harm me in many ways, so that I could not have risen safe and sound.  But owing to Thy gracious protection I have been kept unharmed.  I now fervently pray Thee, let me, this day experience Thy grace and keep me, who am Thine own through Christ's blood, in Thy grace unto life everlasting.  Amen.  Lord Jesus, receive my soul into Thy hands and let it be committed unto Thee.  Amen.
