The Treasury of Daily Prayer which is published by Concordia Publishing House (www.cph.org), is a great resource to strengthen your devotional life with God's Word and a structured prayer life. One of the gifts is to read prayers that have been prayed by Christians throughout the ages.
This prayer is used for Saturday and a snippet of it is provided here that truly sets out our life in Christ.
"Redeem us by Your mercy. We know that a single sin eternally destroys our fellowship with You. We know that we have eternally earned Your wrath. We know that by our sin we are not worthy to be named Your children. But our hope is not in our works; our hope is found in Your grace alone, O God. We pray You to forgive us for the sake of Jesus Christ, Your beloved Son. Through Him, grant us the power to hate our sins, so that we may lead a life well-pleasing to You in true humility and in knowledge of Your holy will. O Lord, teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."
