An Evening Prayer

O Lord, as we come to the end of this day, forgive us wherein we have failed you and set our hearts at ease through the knowledge of your undying love and forgiveness.  We are thankful that you have seen us safely through another day, and we ask that you watch over us and protect us by your power and might throughout the night.  Guard our country from its enemies at home and abroad, and may there be a mighty spiritual awakening in our land, leading us back to you and to the freedoms we can experience through the Christ who makes us free, indeed.  In your Great Name we pray, Amen.
