Prayer for Sanctification and Guidance

Almighty God, who alone gavest us the breath

of life, and alone canst keep alive in us the

holy desires thou dost impart; We beseech

thee, for thy compassion's sake, to sanctify

all our thoughts and endevours; that we may

neither begin an action without a pure

intention nor continue it without thy

blessing.  And grant that, having the eyes of

the mind opened to behold things invisible

and unseen, we may in heart be inspired by

thy wisdom, and in work be upheld by thy

strength, and in the end be accepted of thee

as thy faithful servants; through Jesus

Christ our Saviour.  Amen.
