Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, you
know our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking:
Have compassion on our weakness, and mercifully
give us those things which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our
blindness we cannot ask; through the worthiness of your Son Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for
ever. Amen.
Book of Common Prayer
