Confession, and a Prayer for Usefulness
O OUR God, we would not hide our daily shortcomings from Thee. Oh ! forgive us in Christ. Our Father, never let us be without the indwelling of Thy Holy Spirit for an hour. Let our lives be every day more unconscious of our own presence and more conscious of Thine. Make us instruments in Thy hand for advancing Thy Kingdom, and for uniting all Christians, in this land; for the sake of Him Who loved us, and died for us, even Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
