Evening Prayer by St. Macarius the Great
O Eternal God, King of all creation, Who have granted me to attain to this
hour, forgive me the sins which I have committed this day in thought, word, and deed; and cleanse, O Lord, my humble soul from every stain of flesh and spirit.
Grant me, O Lord, to pass through the sleep of this night in peace, that when I rise from my bed I may please Your holy Name all the days of my life, and conquer the enemies, both corporeal and incorporeal, that contend against me.
Deliver me, O Lord, from the vain thoughts that stain me, and from evil desires.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
Amen.
