PRAYER TO REDEEM LOST TIME

Oh MY GOD! Source of all mercy! I acknowledge Thy sovereign power.

While recalling the wasted years that are past, I believe that Thou, Lord, can

in an instant turn this loss to gain. Miserable as I am, yet I firmly believe that

Thou can do all things. Please restore to me the time lost, giving me Thy grace,

both now and the future, that I may appear before Thee in "wedding garments."

Amen.
