O Lord, we beseech you, save our unconverted friends and neighbors from this gall of bitterness, this horrible yoke of iniquity, which consists in disbelieving God and his Christ.
And, then, deliver any of your children that have backslidden, and have gotten into a state of misbelief. May they be brought back; may they come with weeping and lamentation, and again trust the ever-blessed Father; and may our confidence become strong, that our peace may be like a river, and our righteousness like the waves of the sea.
