lives; that others, seeing our good works, may glorify our Father, who is in Heaven. THY KINGDOM COME. May the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of the Lord and of his Christ; and may all, that own Thee for their king, become thy faithrul subjects, and obey thy laws! Dethrone, O God, and destroy Satan, and his kingdom; and enlarge the kingdom of grace. THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. We adore thy goodness, O God, in making thy will known to us in thy holy word. May this thy word be the rule of our will, of our desires, of our lives, and actions! May we ever sacrifice our will to thine; be pleased with all thy choices for ourselves and others, and adore thy providence in the government of the world. GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD. O Heavenly Father, who knowest what we need, give us the necessaries and comforts of this life with thy blessing; but above all give us the bread, that nourisheth to eternal life. Acts xvii. O God, who givest to all life, and breath, and all things; give us grace to impart to such, as are in want, of what Thou hast given more than our daily bread. AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES, AS WE FORGIVE THEM, WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US. Make us truly sensible of thy goodness, and mercy, and patience toward us, that we may from our hearts forgive every one his brother his: trespasses. May my enemies ever have place in my prayers, and in thy mercy! AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION. Support us, O Heavenly Father, under all our saving trials, and grant that they may yield us the peaceable fruits of righteousness. BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL. From all sin and wickedness, from our spiritual enemy, and from everlasting death, good Lord, deliver us. Deliver us from the evil of sin, and from the evil of punishment. Deliver us, O Heavenly Father, from our evil and corrupt nature, from the temptations and snares of an evil world, and from falling again into the sins, we have repented of. FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE AND, EVER. AMEN. By thy Almighty power, O King of Heaven, for the glory of thy name, and for the love of a Father, grant us all these blessings, for which thy Son hath taught us to pray. Unto Him, who is able to do for us abundantly more, than we can ask or think; unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus, throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.. To God the Creator, Preserver, and Disposer of all things, be the glory of all the good, wrought in us, by us, and upon us. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever, Amen. Thy infinite power, wisdom, goodness, faithfulness, and truth are the only sure foundation, on which we may depend. O give us firm faith in these thy glorious perfections. With Angels and Archangels, and all the company of Heaven, we praise and magnify thy glorious name, evermore praising Thee, and saying, holy, holy, holy LORD GOD of Hosts, Heaven and earth are full of thy glory. Glory be to Thee, O GOD most High. Amen. Jude 24, 25. Now unto Him, who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the pesence of his glory with exceeding joy; to the only wise GOD our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. Rom. xi. 36. For of Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things; to whom be glory forever. Amen. Rom. xvi 27. To GOD only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever and ever. Amen. Mark ix. 23. All things are possible to him, that believeth. Yes, Lord, and therefore I beg this faith of Him, to whom all things are possible, that I may be able to discover, to avoid, to resist, and to root out, whatever is evil in me. O Jesus, obtain this grace for thy otherwise helpless creature. Grant, that I may this day escape all snares, laid for me by the devil, the world, or my own corrupt heart. Grant that I may this day omit no part of my duty. 1 Tim. iv. 15. Give thyself wholly to these things, that thy profiting may appear to all. God grant that I I may do do so; and I pray God to preserve me from ease, idleness, and trifling away my precious time. Philemon 4. I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers. Extend, and suit thy graces to all conditions of men, that we may all be upright in our dealings, obedient to our governors, peaceable in our lives, sober, honest, temperate, chaste in our conversation, and charitable to the poor, and one toward another. Increase the number and graces of all such, as love and fear Thee. Enlighten the minds of the ignorant, awaken the consciences of the careless, silence gainsayers, convert the profane, and all, that hold the truth in unrighteousness. Rebuke the spirit of antichrist, idolatry, and libertinism; the sins of drunkenness, whoredom, litigiousness, and of defrauding the public. In tender mercy remember, O God, all sick and dying persons, that they may omit nothing, that is necessary to make their peace with Thee. Be gracious unto all, that are under any affliction of mind or body, or under any pressing calamity; all desolate widows and fatherless children; all, that call upon Thee in their distress, and have none else to help them. Prov. xxi. 1. The king's power is in the hands of the Lord; as the rivers of waters, he turneth it whithersoever he will. Let this thy power, O Lord, be magnified on all, that are put in authority over us, that we may be governed with truth and justice by men, fearing and honoring God, protecting the christian religion, and punishing evildoers. To this end vouchsafe them, I beseech thee, all the graces necessary for their high station, and for their eternal happiness. Col. iv. 1. Masters, give unto your servants that, which is just and equal, knowing that ye also have a Master in Heaven. O heavenly Lord and Master, bless me with good and faithful servants. Let thy blessing be upon them and upon my affairs, committed to their care; and may I never be wanting in my duty to them, for Jesus Christ's sake. Relations, Benefactors, &c. Be gracious, O God, to all my relations, benefactors, enemies; and to all, that have desired my prayers; to all, who by their own labors do minister to our necessities; together with all our known and unknown benefactors. Render, O God, a good reward and a plentiful return to all those, who have been kind and charitable. Grant 'that we may all so live here, that we may meet hereafter in the Paradise of God. John xvi. 23. Verily I say unto you, whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. These are what I ask, O God and Father, above all things, for myself, and for all, that C |
