Evening prayer to St Alexius

Dear Saint Alexius, in the silence of the evening I turn to you, please hear my prayer. Give me the courage and strength to leave the toils of the day quietly behind me. Stand by me in the dark hours and guide me on the path of righteousness. Bless my heart and soul, that I may find inner peace and tranquility. Thank you for always watching over me and guiding me with your blessings and the example of your life. Please help me to serve others in love and to bring the love of Christ to others by following your example. Bless those who need help and give them hope and strength in the darkness. St. Alexius, intercede for us with the Father, and please grant that I may always feel your presence as I lay my head down to sleep and meet tomorrow's new challenges. Amen.
