Almighty God,
who seest that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves;

and from all evil thoughts
which may assault and hurt the soul;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

and acknowledging our wretchedness,
may receive from you, the God of all mercy,
perfect remission and forgiveness;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Creator of heaven and earth,

which is through him now and for ever.
