Save your people from unbelief, save them from confidence in the creature. Bring us one and all to be, as to the world, even as a weaned child. May we have done with these things; and as to you, O Lord, may we with strong desire seek after yet more of you, and cling to you as our sure confidence forevermore.

As for the future, we desire to bless your name that you have covered it from our eyes; nor would we wish to lift even a corner of the veil which hides from us the things that are to be; but we delight to feel that he who has ruled all things for our good does not change.

Oh God, you know the burden of every heart before you, the secret sighing of the prisoner comes up into your ears. Some of us are in perplexity, others are in actual suffering of body. Some are sorely cast down in themselves, and others deeply afflicted with the trials of those they love, but as for all these burdens, our soul would cast them on the Lord—in quietness and confidence shall be our strength.

We would this morning, all without exception who are tried and troubled, take up the place of sitting still, leaving, with quiet acquiescence, everything in the hands of God. Great Helmsman, you shall steer the ship, and we will not be troubled. By your grace, we will leave everything most sweetly in your hands. Where else should these things be left? and we will take up the note of joyous song, in anticipation of the deliverance which will surely come.

O Lord, we praise you for keeping alive a testimony for the truth in the land. There have been dark and evil days, and some that professed to be your servants have turned traitors to the gospel; yet still you have heard the cry of the faithful, and the candle is not put out, neither hs the sun gone down.

But even unto this day the Lord, the God of Israel reigns in the midst of his people, and his saints exult in his name. And now with this thankfulness upon our hearts, we would humbly ask you to strengthen us as to our future confidence in you.

We bless you on behalf of the much tried among your children. They went through fire and through water; men did go over their heads, yet you have preserved them.

Their hope seemed to wither like the fading leaf, and the summer of their joy turned into a bleak winter of adversity, yet the springtime has come to them, and the time of the singing of birds; yes, they begin to pluck their first ripe fruits, and they joy and exult in the Lord.

We thank you, O God, on the behalf of many of your people, our brethren, that you have dealt so well with them. We knew them many years ago when their young hearts first believed in you, and here they are still, the living in Zion, to praise you, as they do this day.

Their feet have sometimes almost gone, their steps have well near slipped; but you have held them up, and they are walking in their integrity, preserved as only grace could preserve them, living still to praise your name.

We trusted in you, alas! too feebly, in the hour of our distress when we were troubled exceedingly with earthly things, still you did not fail us, though our faith trembled: though we did not believe you were still abiding in faithfulness.

The Lord has helped his people, yes the Lord has been the strength and the help of his chosen. “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all;” and at this moment, in looking back upon the past, we have nothing to do, but to admire and to adore the constancy of love, the faithfulness of grace.

O Lord God, the strength and the hope of your people, we would approach you through Jesus Christ your Son, with notes of thanksgiving; for we are not ashamed of our hope, neither has our confidence led us into confusion. We have proven it to be true, that they that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which can never be moved, which abides forever.

We trusted in you with regard to our innumerable sins, and you have cast them behind your back. We trusted in you when many evils compassed us about, and we were overrun with temptation, and you brought us out into a wealthy place: you set our feet upon a rock and establish our goings.

The Lord bless our country. Keep us in peace, we ask you and in times of congress and deliberation may there sit in the council chamber One higher than the kings of the earth, and greater than its ambassadors. Oh, that long-continued peace might happen to this poor earth, for its wounds are many. Behold, how all things languish for the lack of peace—the Lord send it.

Quicken trade and commerce, remove the complaining that is now heard in our streets. Kindly consider us in the matter of the weather, that the harvests may not be spoiled, and bless the people, O Lord. Let the people praise you, and “then shall the earth yield her increase.” The Lord grant all this, with the forgiveness of sin, the acceptance of our person, and assist us ever to live to his glory, for Jesus’s sake.

Father, we will come into contact today with many who that remain unconverted. Save them Father! May this day be the day of their salvation. We would most earnestly entreat that some word may drop into the most careless heart; and this prayer especially, convert this day, if it may please you, some that shall be very earnest Christians in years to come; take hold today of some whom you have ordained to be like Paul, who shall be missionaries to the ends of the earth!

Take hold of some that are specially set against you, some that are very bold spirits even in sin, thorough-hearted in their wickedness—convert such now! Say to them, “See I have made thee a chosen vessel to bear my name to the Gentiles;” and may there come such power with it, that they may not be disobedient unto the heavenly vision. Your church needs such men. Oh, that such were brought out today! We put it up as a prayer to be registered in heaven, and we mean to look for its answer, that you would today take hold of some men that shall become afterwards leaders in the church of God, this day striking them down with the sense of sin and leading them to Christ.

Convert the nations, we pray! Help our dear brethren who stand far out in the thick heathen darkness, like lone sentinels; let them bear their witness well, and may the day come when the Christian church shall become a missionary church, when all over the world those that love Christ shall be determined that he shall conquer.

You have not yet made the church “terrible as an army with banners:” would God she were! May those days of Christian earnestness come to us, and then shall we look for the latter day of glory.
