O God, have mercy upon the unbelievers that we know, who have heard your word, and who profess to believe in the inspiration of your sacred Book, and yet have never come and put their confidence in Christ. We know that they are condemned already, because they have not believed upon the Son of God.

Oh deliver them from this great sin; and may they come at this very hour, and cast their helpless souls upon him on whom you have laid our help. May they begin to believe this morning, and then they shall begin to live; and you will breathe peace into such, and you will give them rest, and strength, and holiness; and they shall be more than conquerors, if they will but believe their God.

Are any of your servants this morning in great trial? Lord help them! Whatever they fail in, let them not fail in faith. May we scorn to doubt our God. Oh, let not the devil get so much power over us as to cause us to mistrust the Eternal, who must not be mistrusted; but may we glorify you.

May we snatch the great opportunities of glorifying you, which troubles and trials bring; and count ourselves to have a high talent committed to us, when we have the opportunity of showing our conquest of self, and our glorying in God in the time of trial. The Lord bless his people here with Abrahamic faith, which staggers not at the promise through unbelief.

Lord, teach us to be resigned to your will; teach us to delight in your law; teach us to have no will but your will; teach us to be sure that everything you do is good—is the very best that can be done.

Help us to leave our concerns in your divine hands, being persuaded that you have sway even over evil; that out of it you bring good, and better still, and better still in infinite progression, until your high purposes shall develop in your own perfect glory, and in the perfect bliss of all them that put their trust in you.

“The decrees you issue are righteous and altogether trustworthy.” (Psalm 119:138, CSB)

You are all goodness, and truth, and grace, and loving-kindness; and therefore, blessed be your name forever and ever. Blot out the sin of your servants. Once again let this unbelief of ours be forgiven; and let us stand, with no sin upon the conscience, but absolved through Jesus’ blood.

In the enjoyment of such confidence with you, may we lift up our face without a cloud, may we trust in you from now on without a doubt, and may we go on our way rejoicing, whatever that way may be.

In no one instance is there a breach of promise. You have tried us, as silver is tried, but in very faithfulness you have afflicted us. You have brought us very low indeed; but underneath us have still been the everlasting arms. You have brought us into the wilderness; but you have furnished a table for us, in the presence of our enemies.

You have made us to see the end of all perfection; but your love, even then, has been perfected—perfected in our weakness. You are all goodness, and truth, and grace, and loving-kindness; and therefore, blessed be your name forever and ever.

We have repented, as you know, through your grace, most bitterly of that time of death in which we tried to live; and now, you have given us to see our pardon in the wounds of Jesus, and my soul puts her trust in him. God incarnate is the ground of our hope that we are accepted and forgiven, notwithstanding that previous life of ours.

But Lord, the worst of it is, that in many of our actions, even since then, we betray a disbelief of you. Like the children of Israel in the wilderness, you might well say of us, “How long will it be, before they believe me, though I have shown all my signs and wonders among them?” O God, you have been very faithful to your servants. And now, blot out the sin of your servants.

Glorious Jehovah, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, you have not changed: you are still a covenant God, and you keep that covenant to all your people; you do not permit a single word of it to fall to the ground.

All of your promises are yes and amen in Christ Jesus, to your glory by us; and we believe those promises will be fulfilled in every jot and tittle: not one of them shall want its mate, not one of them shall fall to the ground like the frivolous words of men. Have you said, and will you not do it? Have you commanded, and shall it not come to pass? We are utterly ashamed, and full of confusion; because we have to confess that we have doubted you. Many of our actions have been atheistic. We have lived at times as if there were no God.

We come before you this morning, through Christ Jesus, to express our entire confidence in you. We believe that you are true, and that you are the rewarder of those who diligently seek you.

Lord, forgive us that death in life, in which so many of our years were spent, when we found something in the world apart from you; and were content with the things of the hour, the vile shadows, transient gusts of things which truly are not, for you alone are all-in-all.

Our Father, blessed be the grace and love which have taught us to use that dear familiar name—“Our Father, which art in heaven,” and therefore highest and most exalted, and worthy to be breathed with awe and reverence by all that draw near to you.

“Hallowed be your name.” Oh, that all the earth would ever reverence it! As for ourselves, enable us by your grace to use it with awe and trembling; and may a consideration of the glorious character which is intended by your gracious name, ever lay us in the very dust before you, and yet lift us up with holy joy, and with an unwavering confidence.

Bless other nations, we pray; and the church of God in every land. For the saints of every tongue we pray, especially for those of our own country, scattered across the ocean hither and thither.

Make the whole of your people to be full of life and vigor; and may the day come, when the missionary spirit shall be more fully caught by the church at home, and they that have gone forth shall bring tens of thousands, to be built into the temple of God.

O Lord, we wait upon you now, and ask the over-shadowing of your presence! Jesus of Nazareth, pass by just now! Divine Spirit, rest upon us now! Holy Father, look upon your children now; and make this place to be glorious at this good hour! We ask it in the name of the Well Beloved.

Amen.
