We would come to you this morning by the way which you have appointed; and enabled by the Spirit whom you have given, we would speak with you. Father, we are always grieving that we have offended your holy mind; and we grieve ourselves, to think that we should grieve you.
Our innermost desire is to be absolutely perfect. Oh, how we wish we were! We hate every false way, and every sin; and we desire, with all the power of our mind, to be delivered from the dominion of any sin, and to be led into the blessed freedom of complete obedience to God.
