First Day Evening Prayer
Forgive me, O God, for all the times when I was a trouble and nuisance to people today.
Forgive me
For times when I was stubborn and obstinate;
For times when I was careless and forgetful;
For times when I was selfish and unhelpful;
For times when I was far slower to learn than I need have been;
For times when I was late and kept people waiting;
For times when I argued when I should have kept quiet;
For times when I got in the way, and hindered people and kept them back;
For times when I made things unpleasant when I did get my own way.
Help me from now on always to make things easier
and not more difficult for the people with whom
I live and work, and to help people on the way
instead of getting in their way.
This I ask for your love’s sake. Amen
