A Prayer to Begin the Day from William Temple

We confess to thee, O Lord most holy, all the sins which hinder thy purpose for our lives and do harm to the lives of others. Forgive us, Lord, we humbly beseech thee, and turn our hearts to seek thee more sincerely, and to serve thee and our fellow-men more faithfully, in the coming…[days]. We ask it through our Saviour Jesus Christ.
