Sunday’s prayer. | |
Almighty Father, — Open my mouth that my lips may declare Thy praise. (Psalms 51:17) | |
O God, help me to understand the beauty and power of prayer, and let me not consider any day complete, unless I have spent therein a few minutes in speaking my heart to Thee. | |
I know, O Lord, that thou wilt not change Thy laws for my sake; also I am much too ignorant to understand what is for my good. Yet I am not afraid to make my petition unto Thee, for the end and object of all my prayers is to ask for faith and trust in Thee! | |
O Lord, help me to do what is pleasing in Thy sight, and to will that which Thou willest! As a father delights in the gratitude of his children, mayest Thou not consider it unworthy to accept my prayer of thanksgiving. As a father allows his children to confide their thoughts to him, do Thou listen to the outflowings of my heart and grant me peace! | |
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. (Psalms 19:14) |
