3. We may then beg for the forgiveness of what has been amiss in our prayers.

Lord, we have not prayed as we ought; who is there that does good, and sins not? Even when we would do good, evil is present with us, and if to will be present, yet how to perform that which is good we know not; for the good that we would, we do not, so that thou mightest justly refuse to hear, even when we make many prayers. But we have a great High Priest, who bears the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow in all their holy gifts: for his sake take away all that iniquity from us, even all the iniquity of our holy things, and receive us graciously, and love us freely; and deal not with us after our folly. Rom 8:26. Eccl 7:20. Rom 7:18, 19. Isa 1:15. Exod 28:38. Hos 14:2. Job 11:8.

Pray now: a guided prayer in six parts, with the next heads each day.
