resurrection didst endow it with purpose and victory; we offer to you our trials this
day as a spiritual service of worship, beseeching thee to sanctify them to thy
purpose, redeem them from all fault and impurity, and fortify us in the midst of
them; and grant, O Lord, that in place of fear, anger, and rebellion, we may have
the quiet confidence to follow wherever thou doest lead and patiently wait for thy
certain mercy, knowing that our faithfulness is never pointless but shall show forth
the splendor of thy majesty in the age to come; and this we ask who art our
Resurrection and Life. Amen.

Prayer for Grace to reform and grow better.
MOST merciful God, lest, through our own frailty, or the temptations which
encompass us, we be drawn into sin, vouchsafe us, we beseech thee, the direction
and assistance of thy Holy Spirit. Reform whatever is amiss in the temper and
disposition of our souls; that no unclean thoughts, unlawful designs, or inordinate
desires, may rest there. Purge our hearts from envy, hatred, and malice; that we
may never suffer the sun to go down upon our wrath; but may always go to our rest
in peace, charity, and good-will, with a conscience void of offence towards thee,
and towards men; that so we may be preserved pure and blameless, unto the
coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
