Devotion: A beautiful Thanksgiving prayer

I will teach transgressors your ways and the wicked will return to you. Deliver me from the guilt of blood, O God, God of my salvation; my tongue will rejoice in your righteousness. Lord, you will open my lips and my mouth will proclaim your praise. Because if you had desired the sacrifice, I would have given it; with burnt offerings you will not be satisfied. A sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; a broken and humiliated heart God will not despise.

Do good, O LORD, in your pleasure in Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then you will be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, oblations and burnt offerings. Then they will offer bullocks on your altar. As I rise from sleep, I thank you, most holy trinity, because because of your great goodness and patience, you were not angry with me, a slacker and sinner, nor did you destroy me in my sins, but showed your usual love for me. . 

And when I was prostrate in despair, you lifted me up to glorify him with your power. enlighten now the eyes of my mind, open my mouth to study your words and understand your commandments. To do your will and sing to you in sincere worship and praise your most holy name, father and son and holy spirit.

O holy angel, guarding my unhappy soul and my passionate life, do not abandon me, sinner, nor turn away from me because of my incontinence. Do not give room for the evil enemy to overwhelm me with the strength of this mortal body. strengthen my weak and weak hand and put me on the path of salvation.

Yes, oh holy angel of god, guardian and protector of my miserable soul and body, forgive me all that I have offended you for all the days of my life, and also what I did last night. Protect me during this day and protect me from every temptation of the enemy, so that I cannot anger God with any sin. Pray to the Lord for me, so that he will confirm me in his fear and show me a worthy servant of his goodness. amen.
