Prayer for God's acceptance of this day's devotions, and for grace to put in practice our good resolutions, and finally to attain everlasting life.

Blessed be Thy holy Name, O Lord my God, for Thy great mercy and goodness to Thine unworthy servant this day, in giving me both the opportunity and the will to retire from the world, in order to a more serious and solemn attendance on those religious duties that concern mine everlasting salvation.

Accept, I humbly beseech Thee, my humiliation and repentance for all the sins of my past life; my resolutions of better obedience for the future; and the prayers, and supplications, and thanksgivings which I have offered up to Thy divine Majesty.

Of Thine infinite mercy pardon all my failings; and whatsoever good work Thou hast begun in me, be pleased to accomplish and perfect it until the day of Christ. Lord, Thou knowest my weakness, and the number and strength of those temptations I am to struggle with: O leave me not to myself; but cover Thou my head in the day of battle, and in all my spiritual conflicts make me more than conqueror through Him that loved me. O let not the terrors or flatteries of the world, nor the deceitfulness of mine own corrupt heart ever betray me

to the breach of those promises which I have made to Thee this day: but grant that I may be so stedfast, unmoveable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord, that I may in the end obtain that eternal life, which Thou hast promised to those who by patient continuance in well-doing seek for glory, and honour, and immortality.

Grant this, O merciful Father, for the sake of my blessed Saviour and Redeemer Jesus Christ; Who died for our sins, and rose again for our justification, and now sitteth at Thy right hand to make intercession for all penitent sinners. Amen. Amen.
