An evening prayer

O Loving Heavenly Father, You created my being to serve You, and my soul to follow hard after You. With sorrow and contrition of heart I acknowledge my faults and failings.

My failure to be true to the standards I have set for myself.
My choosing of the wrong path when I should have known better.
Lord forgive.
My blindness to the suffering and pain of others,
My slowness to see the good in others.
Lord forgive.

"Create in me a pure heart O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me."
