Occasional Prayers

Almighty God, who gayest thine only begotten Son Jesus Christ to die for the sins of the whole world: Have mercy on all who are in temptation and upon all who through weakness or willfulness fall into sin; make known to them thy gracious love, and so teach them the evil of hatred and malice, of envy and contempt, of lust and greed, that, turning to thee for help, they may be led into fellowship with thee and obedience to thy will; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
