Evening Prayers
Listen to me when I call to You. Receive my prayer as incense,
my lifted hands as an evening sacrifice. Psalm 141:1-2
(First recite the "Trisagion Prayers" just as in the morning)
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Prayers for Thanksgiving
Now that the day has ended, I thank You,Lord, and ask that the evening and the night be sinless. Grant this to me,
O Savior, and save me.
Glory to the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Now that the day has passed, I glorify You, O Master, and I ask that the evening and the night be without offence.
Grant this to me, O Savior, and save me.
Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Now that the day has run it's course, I praise you, O Holy One, and I ask that the evening and the night be undisturbed,
Grant this to me, O Savior, and save me.
Prayers for Forgiveness
Lord, God our Father, if during the day I have sinned in word, deed or thought forgive me in Your goodness and love.
Grant me peaceful sleep. Protect me from all evil and awake me in the morning that I may glorify you, Your Son, and
Your Holy Spirit now and forever and ever. Amen.
Prayers for Enlightenment
Christ our God, who is worshiped and glorified at all times and in every hour in heaven and on earth; who is most
patient, loving and kind; who loves the just and shows mercy to sinners; who calls all to salvation through the promise
of the blessings to come; Lord, at this time receive our prayer and direct our lives according to Your will. Bless
our souls and bodies. Correct our thought and purify our minds. Protect us from all evil and distress. Surround us
with Your holy angels, that guided and guarded by them, we may attain the unity of the faith and the knowledge of
Your unapproachable glory, for You are blessed forever and ever. Amen.
(Here you may add your own private prayers and intercessions, using your own words or some of the "Prayers for Various
Occassions" to be found on another page of this site. When you have finished, conclude with this prayer.)
Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us. Amen.
(As you lie down to sleep say: )
Lord, into Your hands I commend my soul and body. Bless me, be merciful to me, and grant me eternal life. Amen.
