Today, gracious Lord, reproach your children and comfort them; also rebuke and reprove as may seem good unto you; but Oh, sanctify us for the skies, and prepare us for the place which you are preparing for us. The Lord be very mindful of all his sick servants at home, of any that are under depression of spirit, and especially of such as are near to die.
Oh, be very gracious to all your children under temptation; and if any are in very sharp trial, and are also conscious of having brought it upon themselves, which makes the trial worse than ever, yet of your mercy do you let the fullness of the power of your grace be manifest in them, that in the ages to come they may, with all saints declare the exceeding riches of your power and love in Christ Jesus.
