Night Time Prayer

When we retire at night, we constructively review our day. We ask…

God, was I resentful, selfish, dishonest or afraid?  Do I owe an apology?  Have I kept something to myself which should be discussed with another person at once?  Was I kind and loving toward all?  What could I have done better?  Was I thinking of myself most of the time?  Or was I thinking of what we could do for others, of what I could pack into the stream of life?  I must be careful not drift into worry, remorse, or morbid reflection, for that would diminish my usefulness to others. God, I ask for your forgiveness and for what corrective measures should be taken.
