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.

We do thank you that Jesus gives us the victory; but we long to have that victory in ourselves more constantly realised—more perfectly enjoyed. We would lie in the very dust before you because of sin; and yet, at the same time, rejoice in the great Sin-bearer, that the sin is not imputed to us, that it is put away by his precious blood, that we are accepted in the Beloved.

But even this does not content us; we are crying after the work of the Holy Ghost within, until Satan shall be bruised under our feet and sin shall be utterly destroyed.

You know, Lord, for you search our hearts—you know we can truly say, unless indeed we be under a very deep delusion, that we do wish to promote your glory among the sons of men; and that we count nothing to be riches, but that which makes us rich towards God; nothing to be health, but that which is sanity before the most High—holiness in you sight; and we reckon nothing to be pure, but what you have cleansed; and nothing to be good, but that upon which you blessing rests.

Yet Lord, though it be so, though our mind has been, by your Spirit, set towards holiness, there is a death within us; the old nature which strives against our life, and the members of the body, often join with the corrupt nature within, to lead us astray. We swing towards holiness, and then we seem like the pendulum, to swing the other way. We are wretched, because of this, and we cry out to you to deliver us. Oh that you would deliver us!

We would come to you this morning by the way which you have appointed; and enabled by the Spirit whom you have given, we would speak with you. Father, we are always grieving that we have offended your holy mind; and we grieve ourselves, to think that we should grieve you.

Our innermost desire is to be absolutely perfect. Oh, how we wish we were! We hate every false way, and every sin; and we desire, with all the power of our mind, to be delivered from the dominion of any sin, and to be led into the blessed freedom of complete obedience to God.

Our Father, we dare call you by that blessed name, for we feel the spirit of children. We have an earnest love for you, and an implicit trust in you; and we desire in all things to be obedient to you will, and to seek your honor.

All of our dependence is placed on you, since the day when you taught us to believe in Jesus Christ: and now, you are all in all to us, you are our fullness, and we lose ourselves and find ourselves completely in you.

We cast ourselves upon you, and ask you to make us all useful today in our families, in our classes, in the church, in the world: and when you shall have used us here, permit us the great joy of serving you day and night in your temple above.

One more prayer: it is, convert those who sit with us from Sunday to Sunday and are unconverted. Lord have mercy upon some that once professed religion, but continue to come in and out among us without repentance, without turning back to him whom once they professed to know.
