Prayer Lecture 63

PRAYER

Grant, Almighty God, that as we in various ways daily provoke thy wrath against us, and thou ceasest not to exhort us to , — O grant, that we may be pliant and obedient and not despise thy kind invitations, while thou settest before us the hope of thy mercy, nor make light of thy threatenings; but that we may so profit by thy word as to endeavor to anticipate thy judgments; and may we also, being allured by the sweetness of thy , ourselves wholly to thee, that thus thy wrath may be turned away from us, and that we may become receivers of that which thou offerest to all who truly and from the heart , and who desire to have thee propitious to them in Christ Jesus our Lord. — Amen.
