Luther's Evening Blessing








The Evening Blessing

In the evening, when you go to bed, you are to make the sign of the holy cross and say: "Under the care of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen."

Then, kneeling or standing, say the Apostles' Creed and the Lord's Prayer. If you wish you may recite this little prayer as well:

I give thanks to you, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ your dear Son, that you have graciously protected me today, and I ask you to forgive me all my sins, where I have done wrong, and graciously to protect me tonight. For into your hands I commend myself: my body, my soul, and all that is mine. Let your holy angel be with me, so that the wicked foe may have no power over me. Amen.

Then you are to go to sleep quickly and cheerfully.

Shout to The Lord

Shout to The Lord: "Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing Power and Majesty, praise to the King; Mountains bow down and the seas will roar At the sound of Your name. I sing for joy at the work of your hands, Forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand Nothing compares to the promise I have in You."

Jesus is the way...

Dear Lord

Let our lives reflect Your glory. Amen

Sharing the love of Christ

I want to thank my family and friends for their many prayers offered on my behalf throughout the past 8 months of cancer treatment. I have now completed all treatments and seem to be doing very well. Your prayers, cards, and words of support and love, along with the assurance of the Lord that He is always with me no matter what, have kept my hope and spirit buoyant. Thank you for sharing the love of Christ with me in these ways.
