Martin Luther’s Evening Prayer a Visual Mediation


In the Small Catechism, Martin Luther wrote Morning and Evening Prayers for families to say each day. Many have found them attractive in their simplicity and devotion. Perhaps you will find them useful in your own conversational relationship with God and in your family.

LUTHER’S MORNING PRAYER
I thank you, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, your dear Son, that you have kept me this night from all harm and danger. Keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please you. Into your hands I commend my body and soul and all things. Let your holy angel be with me, that the wicked foe may have no power over me. Amen.

LUTHER’S EVENING PRAYER
I thank you, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, your dear Son, that you have graciously kept me this day. Forgive me all my sins, and graciously keep me this night. Into your hands I commend my body and soul and all things. Let your holy angel be with me, that the wicked foe may have no power over me. Amen.
