Our Father, we dare call you by that blessed name, for we feel the spirit of children. We have an earnest love for you, and an implicit trust in you; and we desire in all things to be obedient to you will, and to seek your honor.
All of our dependence is placed on you, since the day when you taught us to believe in Jesus Christ: and now, you are all in all to us, you are our fullness, and we lose ourselves and find ourselves completely in you.
