A Prayer after Confession
Pray by candlelightO sovereign Master, who loves mankind, lead me in your way, that I may walk in your truth. Make glad my heart, that I may fear your holy name. O Lord, mighty in mercy and gracious in strength, aid, comfort and save me, as I put my trust in your holy name. Rebuke me not, O Lord, in your displeasure, neither punish me in your wrath, but show unto me your great mercy and compassion, O physician and healer of my soul, O merciful Savior, blot out all my transgressions, for I am heartily sorry for having offended you. Grant me your grace that I may avoid my previous evil ways. Strengthen me, O mighty one, to withstand those temptations before which I am weak, that I may avoid all future sin. Keep me under your protection and in the shadow of your wings, that I may serve you, praise you, and glorify you all the days of my life. Amen.
