Most Blessed God,

Most Blessed God, we desire to approach Your sacred presence on this, the close of another day.

Let our prayer come before You as incense, and the lifting up of our hands as the evening sacrifice.

Enable us to have a realizing view of Your Divine Majesty.

Glory be to Your Holy Name, that though Heaven is Your dwelling-place, You condescend also to make every lowly heart Your habitation.

Though You are the greatest of all Beings, You are the kindest of all, and the best of all.

We come, weak and helpless and burdened, to that cross where alone there is shelter and peace for the guilty.

We will not cloak nor mask our manifold sins and wickedness before the face of You, Almighty God, our Heavenly Father.

We would confess them with a humble, lowly, penitent, and obedient heart. May Your love exercise a paramount influence over us.
