Evening Prayer to God the Father
O eternal God and Ruler of all creation,
You have allowed me to reach this hour.
Forgive the sins
I have committed this day
by word, deed or thought.
Purify me,
O Lord,
from every spiritual and physical stain.
Grant that I may rise from this sleep
to glorify You by my deeds throughout
my entire lifetime, and that I
be victorious over every
spiritual and physical enemy.
Deliver me, O Lord,
from all vain thoughts and from evil desires,
for yours is
the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
now and ever, and forever.
Amen.
Saint Macarius
