Prayer for Confession
O Lord, let not your law be a cursing to our consciences, but rather give us grace under this extreme and heavy burden of sin, to be fully persuaded, that you by your death have taken away all our sins, and fulfilled the law for us, and by this means have delivered us from the curse of the law and paid our ransom; and then we, being thus fully persuaded, may have quiet and settled hearts, and a free conscience, and glad desiring wills to forsake this wicked world. Amen.
-Henry Smith
Assurance of Forgiveness
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,
-1 Peter 1:3-4
Prayer for Intercession
Let your mighty hand and outstretched arm, O Lord, still be our defense;
your mercy and loving kindness in Jesus Christ your dear Son, our salvation;
your true and holy Word, our instruction;
your grace and Holy Spirit, our comfort and consolation unto the end, and in the end. Amen.
– John Bradford
Prayer for Illumination
O Lord, you have given us your Word
for a light to shine upon our path.
Grant us so to meditate on that Word,
and to follow its teaching
that we may find in it the light
that shines more and more
until the perfect day.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
-Jerome
