Gracious God, we praise you with our whole hearts for the wondrous revelation of your love in Christ Jesus our Lord. We think every day of his passion, for all our hope lies in his death: but as often as we think upon it, we are still filled with astonishment that you should so love the world as to give your only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Oh, this surpasses all belief if it had not indeed been actually so, yet you have done it. Your grace has almost out-graced itself; your love has reached its height: love to rebels; so to love, that even your Son could not be spared. O God, we are afflicted in our hearts to think we do not love you more, after such love as this.

We have many things to ask of you, but you know, without our use of words. Give to all before you, and to all your people everywhere, exactly what you see they need. We pray for the revival of the Church of God, for help to be given this day to all preachers, and teachers, and seekers after the souls of others. We pray Lord that you would add to your church daily of such as shall be saved.

With our whole heart many of us at least do pray for you to bless our country, and spare it from the horrible evils of war. O God of peace, send us peace always, by all means. Sword of the Lord rest and be quiet now; and may the gospel with its benign influences spread over all nations, until there shall be no selfish clutching, no rapacious grasping at territories, no oppression of one race by another.

Give us opportunities to share your gospel today, and may you raise up of these stones children unto Abraham while we are trying to preach. Men that seem naked and cold as stones, quicken by the mighty Spirit this very day; and may they be led to yield themselves unto God, and their members instruments of righteousness. The Lord grant it, and we will bless his name.

Lord, save us all, not only now, but in that day. So as by fire, perhaps, some of us will be saved, but we had rather pray that you would minister unto us an entrance abundantly into the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We beseech you, look upon some who are seeking salvation, but do not find it; who hear the simple gospel, but somehow cannot enter into its rest. We know that something hinders—Satan hinders. There may be in the heart of seekers here, attachment to a favorite sin. Oh, deliver them from that fascination. There may be still some holding fast to evil associations some predominance of evil passions. Oh God, help penitent souls to come to you, asking to be delivered from sin in every shape, from the sugar of sin as well as from the gall of sin.

Oh, make the soul of the seeker to be weary till he is delivered from corruption. May there be none here that shall fancifully seek after a pretended salvation, which will leave them as they are; but may they know that Jesus saves his people from their sins; and, oh, that with self-loathing, and deep contrition, and earnest heart-searching, souls may come to you again and cast themselves before your face, trusting in Jesus, and crying out to be delivered from sin; and may this be the day of deliverance.

Oh Lord, we do fear that selfishness even enters into our most holy things; we mar and spoil our prayers, and preachings, and teachings, with the unwashed hands with which we go about them. Oh, that you would make us clean, we ask you. While we thus pray to you, we do also know that believing in Christ we are clean; we thank you we do not doubt his justifying power.

While we are now crying to him to be sanctified, may we not doubt his power to sanctify; but while crying, “O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death,” as well we may; we do nevertheless shout exultingly, “Thanks be unto God who gives us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Oh, that we might live for you and not for self. Slay our self-importance, we plead with you, gracious God. Whenever there is a selfish, angry disposition about us, help us to trample it out, as men put out sparks lest a fire should arise from them.

Oh to be Christly! We do desire to live on earth the life of Jesus—sent into the world by him as he was sent into the world by the Father. We would closely copy all his acts, words, and spirit; for so only are we saved, when we are saved from the power of sin, and transformed into the likeness of Christ. Let no drunkard here imagine that his life ought to be spent in a selfish endeavour to save himself from the flames of hell; but may he rather reckon that the grand object is to be saved from the power of sin, and to be consecrated unto God, and to live unto the glory of the most High.

We have no confidence but in Christ, this we know; but Lord, if this be a true confidence it will work by love and purify the soul. Oh, that there might be the sweet results of faith about our secret character and public life. We do sin, the Lord grant we may never leave off grieving because of sin, never may we be contented with ourselves, never fancy that we have reached a point where we may rest and be thankful, and that there is nothing more for us to do in seeking to be more than conquerors of ourselves.

As we have read the charge of your word against that unruly member, the tongue; as we have heard your servant James rebuking our envy and other evil spirits that are within us, we do feel humbled under your hand, and our prayer is, Lord, kill our envy, Lord, help us to command our tongue, grant us grace to be holy: may we be kind and gentle towards our fellow men, having that fruit of the Spirit, which follows upon purity, even peace.

A large number of us have put on Christ by open confession of his name. Oh, Searcher of hearts, are we really in Christ? Have we been born again by his Spirit? Will you be pleased to search our hearts, that this question may be put beyond all suspicion.

Help us to be very diligent in self-examination, observing whether our spirit be the spirit of your children, whether our griefs be the griefs that tear repenting hearts, whether our joys are the joys of faith or the delusions of presumption. May we make severe trial of ourselves, often and often putting ourselves into the balances of the sanctuary, to see whether we be full weight or no. One thing we hope we can say with confidence—that our trust is stayed where you would have it stayed, even in the work, the blood, the righteousness, the person of your dear Son.

Lord, we do confess that our nature is at enmity with you. The fallen corrupt nature of Adam has revolted and gone aside from God; and though we have hope that by your free grace with which you have renewed us, yet the old rebellions come up at times, and the evil nature urges us still to oppose you.

Therefore our prayer this morning is, that we may not only extol you with our words, as we do now; but by the entire submission of our hearts in loyal reverence to you, we may pay you the truest homage. But, Lord, lest we should not have done this, or thinking that we have done so, should still have failed, we will make this the burden of our morning prayer.

As you have revealed yourself in Christ Jesus, you are now to your people the object of inexpressible delight. You have called us to delight in you, promising to give us the desire of our hearts. We trust we can, many of us, truly say that you are our exceeding joy; the thought of God brings exceeding pleasure to our soul. Our souls exults in her God: He is our God and we will extol him, he is our fathers’ God and we will glorify him.
