State of My Soul, That I May Unite Myself

grant that I may wake in the morning with a strong and lasting resolve to work out my salvation. Assist my weak endeavours that I may grow in grace as I grow in years. Cleanse my heart from all those corrupt dis- positions which are offensive to thee; from pride, wrath, selfishness, and inattention to serious things. To my sense of mine un- worthiness, let me add real sorrow ; and to sorrow, sincere purposes of amendment. May I always reverence thy holy name, thv church, thy word, and ordinances. May I be ever just, mild, and compassionate to others ; tem- perate, chaste, and humble in the government of my passions; content with my condition ; and although diligent in my business, yet ever mindful to heap up to myself treasures there where no foe can break in upon my hoard. Where I err, let me amend; and where I amend, let me give the glory to thee, my Cre- ator, my Redeemer, and my Sanctifier. Bless all my relations and friends, and especially those who are near and dear unto me ; and grant that I may never give pain to those for whom I am beseeching thy mercy. Accept the prayers, and pardon the imper- fections, of all, through the merits of thy Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ our Lora. Amen
