gh this
day, and for all Thy other mercies to me. Show me how I have sinned
against Thee this day, and make me sorry for my sins.

_Then try to remember your sins of the day, and ask yourself such
questions at these_:--

What wrong thing have I done to-day?

What evil words have I spoken?

What bad thoughts have I given way to?

_Then ask God's forgiveness, and say_:--

Forgive me, O God, for what I have done wrong to-day, and help me to do
better for the future, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.

Bless, O Lord, my father and mother, my brothers and sisters (and
others whom you wish to pray for). Keep them safe and well, and help
them, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.

Lighten our darkness, we beseech Thee, O Lord; {10} and by Thy great
mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love
of Thy only Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. Take care of me this
night, and defend me from evil both in body and soul, for Jesus
Christ's sake. Amen.

May God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, bless,
preserve, and keep me now and for evermore. Amen.

(_If you need further devotions, you can use some of the prayers on pp.
_12_ and _13_, or read some of the hymns on pp. _53_ and _54.

_It is good to read a few verses of the Bible every night_.)

Bless, O Lord, the food we are about to receive, and make us mindful of
the wants of others, for Jesus' sake. Amen.

For these and all His mercies God's Holy Name be praised.
