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.

14. EVENING PRAYER FOR FRIDAY

     O Lord Jesus Christ, Thou patient sacrificial Lamb and sacred Atonement for all my sins, and not only for mine, but for the sins of the whole world, to Thee I again render thanks from my inmost heart for having, like a father, kept me as to body and soul in Thy protection this day; and I pra Theegraciously to pardon and forgive me all my sins which this day I have committed because of the weakness of my perverted nature and the instigation of the Evil Spirit and which weigh heavily upon my heart and conscience. And since I am now about to retire to rest and sleep, I pray Thee to spread the wings of Thy grace over me that I may sleep beneath them in peace and quietness as to the body, but with the soul watch away, looking for Thee and Thy glorious coming to Judgement and sighing for the time when I shall be called hence to be with Thee in bliss.
     Grant this, I beseech Thee, O faithful God, together withThy dear Son and the Holy Spirit, most blessed forever.  Amen.

13. MORNING PRAYER FOR FRIDAY

In Thy name, Thou crucified Lord Jesus Christ, I, a poor sinner, have now arisen.  On the sacred cross Thou, the real and patient Lamb of sacrifice, didst endure for me the most painful death and didst redeem me with Thy crimson blood from all my sins, from death, Satan, and hell.  Govern my heart by Thy Holy Spirit, refresh it with the heavenly dew of Thy grace, keep me this day with Thy divine love, and hide me, body and soul, in Thy holy wounds; cleanse me from all my sins, preserve me in all good works, and guide me out of this vale of tears into Thine eternal joy and glory, O most faithful Savior Jesus Christ, my only Comfort, Hope and Life.  Amen.
