Almighty God, merciful Father, who created and completed all things, on this day when
the work of our calling begins anew, we implore You to create its beginning, direct its
continuance, and bless its end, that our doings may be preserved from sin, our life
sanctified, and our work this day be well pleasing to You; through Jesus Christ, our
Lord. Amen.

I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You
have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep
me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You.
For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your
holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.
