Evening Prayer #4 - by Saint Macarius

Evening Prayer to God the Father

O eternal God and Ruler of all creation,

You have allowed me to reach this hour.

Forgive the sins I have committed this day by word,

deed or thought.

Purify me, O Lord,

from every spiritual and physical stain.

Grant that I may rise from this sleep to glorify You

by my deeds throughout my entire lifetime,

and that I be victorious over every spiritual

and physical enemy.

Deliver me, O Lord,

from all vain thoughts and from evil desires,

for yours is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory,

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

now and ever, and forever.

Amen.
