Occasional Prayers

O MERCIFULL FATHER, by whose power and strength wee may overcome our enemies both bodily and ghostly: graunt unto us, O Lord, that, according to our promise made in our baptisme, we may overcome the chief enemies of our soule, that is, the desires of the world, the pleasures of the flesh, and the suggestions of the wicked spirit; and so after leade our lives in holines and righteousnes, that we may serve thee in spirit and trueth, and that by our Sauiour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
