A General Prayer
LIGHTEN our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great mercy defend us from all
Perils and dangers of this night; for the love of thy only Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Prayers For the Sick
O MERCIFUL God, giver of life and health; Bless, we pray thee, thy servant, [N.], and those who
administer to him of thy healing gifts; that he may be restored to health of body and of mind;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
You may not know them by name, but our Heavenly Father knows,
Let us remember all:

For Guidance
O GOD, by whom the meek are guided in judgment, and light rise up in darkness for the godly;
Grant us, in all our doubts and uncertainties, the grace to ask what thou would have us to do,
that the Spirit of Wisdom may save us from all false choices, and that in thy light we may see
light, and in thy straight path may not stumble; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A General Intercession
O GOD, at whose word man goes forth to his work and labor be merciful to all whose duties are
difficult or burdensome, and comfort them concerning their toil. Shield from
bodily accident and harm the workmen at their work. Protect the efforts of sober and honest
industry, and suffer not the hire of the laborers to be kept back by fraud. Incline the heart of
employers and of those whom they employ to mutual fairness, and good-will. Give the spirit of
governance and of a sound mind to all in places of authority. Bless all those who labor in works
of mercy or in schools of good learning. Care for all aged persons, and all little children, the sick
and the afflicted, and those who travel by land air or sea. Remember all who by reason of weak
and over-tasked, because of poverty are forgotten. Let the sorrowful sighing of the prisoners
come before thee; and according to the greatness of thy power, preserve thou those that are
appointed to die. Give ear unto our prayer, O merciful and gracious Father, for the love of thy
dear Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
THE Lord bless us and keep us. The Lord make His face to shine upon us, and be
gracious unto us. The Lord lift up His countenance upon us, and give us peace, this
night and evermore. Amen.
