sins, O Only Sinless One, in which I have sinned against Thee
this day, known or unknown, in word, and deed, and thought and
in all my senses. Do Thou Thyself protect and guard me from
every opposing circumstance, by Thy Divine authority and power
and inexpressible love for mankind. Blot out, O God, blot out the
multitude of my sins. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me from the
net of the Evil One, and save my passionate soul, and
overshadow me with the light of Thy countenance when Thou
shalt come in glory; and cause me, uncondemned now, to sleep a
dreamless sleep, and keep Thy servant untroubled by thoughts,
and drive away from me all satanic deeds; and enlighten for me
the eyes of my heart with understanding, lest I sleep unto death.
And send me an angel of peace, a guardian and guide of my soul
and body, that he may deliver me from mine enemies; that, rising
from my bed, I may offer Thee prayers of thanksgiving. Yea, O
Lord, hearken unto me, Thy sinful and wretched servant, in
confession and conscience; grant me, when I arise, to be
instructed by Thy sayings; and through Thine angels cause
demonic despondency to be driven far from me: that I may bless
Thy holy name, and glorify and extol the most pure Theotokos
Mary, whom Thou hast given to us sinners as a protectress, and
accept her who prayeth for us. For I know that she exemplifieth
Thy love for ma nkind and prayeth for us without ceasing. Through
her protection, and the sign of the precious Cross, and for the
sake of all Thy saints, preserve my wretched soul, O Jesus Christ
our God: for holy art Thou, and most glorious for ever. Amen.
O Lord our God, as Thou art good and the Lover of mankind,
forgive me wherein I have sinned today in word, deed, and
thought. Grant me peaceful and undisturbed sleep; send Thy
guardian angel to protect and keep me from evil. For Thou art the
Guardian of our souls and bodies, and unto Thee do we send up
glory: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now
and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
