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.
