Our Father, we bless you that we dare use that name without a question; for many of us feel the Holy Spirit bearing witness with our spirits that we are the children of God. We thank you that we have passed from death unto life, and have been born again to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead (1 Peter 1:3).

He who sits on the throne and makes all things new has made us new, and called us into newness of life, and made us to feel a life within us which must outlast the ages, for it is the life of God.

Let your kingdom come, good Lord; let your kingdom come and let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and our hearts shall sing with the angel choir, and be glad with all the ransomed before the throne, because God is glorified.

This is our soul’s grandest object, that Jesus’ name be lifted high, and his throne be set up among the people, to the praise of the glory of his grace. And now unto the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, be glory, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.

Lord there is a great tumult in the world right now: we pray you overrule it for your glory. Grant that the best ends of progress, of truth and righteousness may be subserved; and may it be seen still, that the Lord reigns.

Even though the people should riot and rebel against the truth, advance your cause; even by disaster and defeat, if so it must be, or by success and prosperity.

Look on sinners! Oh, look on sinners! When you bless your people, you make them blessings. When the church is vigorous, when the people praise you, then shall the earth yield her increase, then shall all the nations praise you too; for the joy of Zion is the joy of the whole earth.

When the Lord makes glad his people then he makes the earth sit still and rest, or even if it rages, yet still there is a time of salvation, a time of the ingathering of the hidden ones, and Christ’s name is glorious.

May there be a great revival of religion in all the members of my church, and especially in the minds of those who are growing cold or indifferent to holy things.

Wherever there is any laxity of life, any slight holding of precious truth; wherever the world is creeping in with its corroding influences; wherever there is anything of sin, which our eye sees not, but which your eye detects, be pleased to put it away. Fill my whole church with unity, with love, with life, with power.

At this time, great Father, will you visit my church with your great favor; and as you have abounded toward us these many years in blessing, so give us now some new token, some fresh visitation for good.

Lord, you have not always given summer weather to the field of nature, but spring comes on and summer returns. Oh give us summer weather as a church. May there be a great revival of religion in all the members, and especially in the minds of such as are growing cold or indifferent to holy things.

O Lord our God, we do beseech you, look upon the faint hearted and those who are swooning through affliction. Bring up your people from the depths of the sea.

Take away our mourning and give us music; remove our sackcloth and give us beauty; take away our sighs and fill our mouths with songs and let this be a radiant day of gladness, a time of feasting from the Bridegroom’s own hand; and may our own spirits rejoice in him, with joy unspeakable and full of glory.

At this time, we would entreat you to visit us with your salvation. Lord we all want renewing, refreshing, reviving; but there are some of your people that sink very low, by reason of physical infirmity and mental suffering; they lie in the very dust. But Lord, when our soul cleaves to the dust, you can still quicken us, according to your word.

May we renew our youth: may our first love come back to us: may the joy of our first days be restored: may the childlike faith of the first steps we ever took towards Christ, be given to us now; and may we learn to rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him.

Lord, you know the groanings of our heart; our prayers cannot express them: but we bless you that there is One who makes intercession for us, with groanings that cannot be uttered (Romans 8:26–27), who is with us, and dwells in us, and is promised to be with us forever.

We shall overcome, we shall win the victory, we shall rise superior to depression of spirit, we shall overcome the doubts, and fears, and tribulations of our inward heart—we shall overcome, for Christ leads the way and victory lies in his cross; and we are sure of it, and therefore would we begin to sing the hymn of victory even now, saying—“thanks be to God, who always leads us in Christ’s triumphal procession.”

To Jesus must I come: short of the nearest and dearest communion with him my panting spirit cannot stay. Blessed Lord Jesus, be with me, reveal yourself, and abide with me all night, so that when I awake I may be still with you.

I note that the dove brought in her mouth an olive branch plucked off (Genesis 8:11), the memorial of the past day, and a prophecy of the future. Have I no pleasing record to bring home? No pledge and earnest of lovingkindness yet to come? Yes, my Lord, I present you my grateful acknowledgments for tender mercies which have been new every morning and fresh every evening; and now, I pray, put forth your hand and take your dove into your bosom.
