Resolution to Serve God

O Lord God, with shame I confess, that Other Lords besides Thee, have hitherto had dominion over me.

I have been in the Snare of the Devil, and have been led captive by Him, and Sin hath reigned in my Mortal body, and I have obeyed it in the lusts thereof, But henceforth I resolve to serve none but Thee, and from this very moment, I utterly forsake all my sins, and turn to Thee!

O my God, I do from my heart Renew, my Baptismal Vow, which alas, I have hitherto so often violated, I do for ever Renounce, the Devil and all His works, and all His temptations, I do for ever Renounce, all the vanities of this wicked World, which may pervert me from Thy Service, and all the sinful lusts of the flesh.

O my God, I do stedfastly believe, all the Articles of the Christian Faith, and I will keep Thy Holy Will, and Commandments, and walk in the same, all the days of my life.

All this am I bound to do and believe, and by Thy help, so I will, and I heartily thank Thee, O Heavenly Father, who hast called me to this state of salvation, through Jesus Christ my Saviour, and I humbly pray Thee for His sake, to give me grace, that I may continue in the same to my lives end.
