Prayer I, of St. Macarius the Great

☩ Evening Prayers (version 2) ☩

O Eternal God and King of all creation, Who hast vouchsafed me to arrive at this hour,
forgive me the sins that I have committed this day in deed, word, and thought; and cleanse, O Lord, my lowly soul of all impurity of flesh and spirit,
and grant me, O Lord, to pass the sleep of this night in peace;
that, rising from my lowly bed, I may praise Thy most holy name all the days of my life, and thwart the enemies, fleshly and bodiless, that war against me.
And deliver me, O Lord, from vain thoughts and evil desires which defile me.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory: of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.
Amen.
