Almighty and merciful God,
in your goodness keep us, we pray,
from all things that may hurt us,
that we, being ready both in mind and body,
may accomplish with free hearts
those things which belong to your purpose;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Lord of all power and might,
the author and giver of all good things:
Graft in our hearts the love of your Name;
increase in us true religion;
nourish us with all goodness;
and bring forth in us the fruit of good works;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

O God,
you discipline us in your love,
and you refresh us through your discipline.
Move us to give you thanks for both;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

It is good for us to hold on to you, O Lord,
but increase in us our desire for your good,
that our hope in you may not be shaken
by any wavering of faith,
but may endure in steadfastness of love.

O God,
out of your great love for this world
you reconciled earth to heaven through your only Son.
By the darkness of our sins
we are often turned aside from brotherly love.
Let your light shine in our souls
and fill us with your own sweetness
and embrace our friends in you
and our enemies for your sake
in a bond of mutual affection.
Amen.

O Lord,
give strength to those who seek you,
and always pour into their souls
the holy desire of seeking you;
that those who long to see your face
may not crave the deceiving pleasures of the world.
Amen.

May the Lord hear us and bless us.
May he save us from our spiritual enemy
and from all that is evil,
and keep us under the shadow of his wings,
this night, and forevermore;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
In the name of Jesus + Christ our Lord,
let us have quiet sleep this night,
and rest in peace.
Amen.
