The Lord be pleased to help us every day to put down sin. O Lord, whenever pride arises, may we be more than ever humbled in your sight. Whenever self comes up, may we be determined it shall not live, but flee to the precious blood, that we may slay it.
Lord, save us from self; save us from the love of the world; save us from the pride of the eye, and the pride of life; save us, we beseech you, from everything that is natural to fallen man, and let the new nature which you have planted manifest itself day by day, until we shall be made like Christ, “whom having not seen we love,” but to whom we shall be conformed, for we shall “see him as he is.”
Amen.
