Oh God, our help and assistance, who is just and merciful, and who hears the prayers of your people. Please look down upon me- a miserable sinner, have mercy upon me, and deliver me from the troubles that torment me, even though I might deserve them.
I acknowledge and believe, Oh Lord, that you give us the trials of this life for our chastisement, when we drift away from you, and disobey your will. Deal not with me according to my sins, but according to your endless mercy, for I am the work of your hands, and you know my weakness.
In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen
