UR Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy

For Grace to seek Spiritual Blessings.

GOD, who hast made us for thyself; Incline our hearts unto thy testimonies, and turn away our eyes from beholding vanity; and that we may be freed from the too great love of earthly things, knit our affections to things heavenly, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

For Wisdom.

GOD, by whom the meek are guided in judgment, and light riseth up in darkness for the godly; Grant us, in all our doubts and uncertainties, the grace to ask what thou wouldest have us to do, that the Spirit of Wisdom may save us from all false choices, and that in thy light we may see light, and in thy straight path may not stumble; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE Lord bless us, and keep us. The Lord make his

face to shine upon us, and be gracious unto us. The Lord lift up his countenance upon us, and give us peace, both now and evermore.

Amen.
