all dangerous errors; this people from forgeting Thee, their Lord and Benéfactor. Be gracious to those countries, that are made desolate by sword, famine, pestilence, or persecution. Bless all persons and places, to which thy providence has made me a debtor; all, who have been instrumental to my good by their assistance, advice, or example; and make me in my turn useful to others. Let none of those, that desire my prayers, want thy mercy; but defend, and comfort, and conduct them through to their lives' end.

"In every thing give thanks; for this is the "will of GOD in Christ Jesus concerning you."

Cause us, O God to profit by all the visitations of thy grace and mercy.

"It becometh well the just to be thankful." O Lord and Father, I am not worthy of the least of all thy mercies, which Thou hast showed thy servant, nor can I render due thanks and praise for them; but, O Lord, accept this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving.

For all the known, and for all the unobserved favors, deliverances, visitations, opportunities of doing good, chastisements, and graces of thy Holy Spirit, vouchsafed to me, I bless thy good providence; beseeching Thee to pardon my ingratitude, that I have passed so many days and years without observing, and acknowledg. ing thy great goodness to thy unworthy servant. For, when I soberly consider my dependence upon Thee for life, welfare, health of body,

peace of mind, grace, comfort, and salvation, I ought to be very thankful.

Glory be to God, my Creator; glory be to Jesus, my Redeemer; glory be to the Holy Ghost, my Sanctifier, Guide, and Comforter; all love, all glory, be to GoD most high. Amen.

Let us never ascribe any thing to ourselves, but all to the grace of God; and render to Him all the glory of his works. Preserve me, O God, from the insensibility of those, who receive thy favors without being affected by them, and from the ingratitude of those, who look upon them, as a debt.

Psa. xc. 1, 2. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High; to show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faith. fulness every night.

Many and great have been the favors and blessings, which Thou hast bestowed on this nation; for which, O Lord, in conjunction with those, who praise Thee for them, and in the stead of those, who forget to praise Thee, I bless and praise thy holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.

OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN. Acts xvii. 28. In Thee we live, and move, and have our being.

Grant that we may love Thee with all our heart, and mind, and soul, and strength.

Blessed be God, who dealeth with us with the tenderness of a Father. O that we may

D

remember that our Father and our inheritance are in Heaven.

I commit myself, and all that belongs to me, to thy fatherly care and love.

Verily, whatever ye ask the Father in my name, he will give it you! This is the great support and comfort of sinners. Hear us for thy Son's sake; for as sinners, we have no right to ask any favor.

What manner of love is it, that we should be called the sons of God.

HALLOWED BE THY NAME.

"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive honor, and power, and glory, for Thou hast created all things."

"In this is my Father glorified, that ye bring forth much fruit.'

May thy children have a great regard for every thing, that belongs to Thee.

May I never dishonor Thee, O Heavenly Father, by word or deed.

May I glorify Thee daily by a good life. Fill my heart with great concern and zeal for thy glory.

"Let every thing, that hath breath, praise the Lord."

They, that honor me, I will also honor." How little have I done to promote thy glory! God be merciful unto me.

THY KINGDOM COME.

May all the kingdoms of the world obey thy laws, and submit to thy providence, and become

the kingdoms of the Lord, and of his Christ! Bless the pious endeavors of all those, who strive to propagate the gospel of thy kingdom. Vouchsafe to reign in my heart; and let not Satan ever have dominion over me..

Fit us, O God, for the coming of thy kingdom. May I submit, and rejoice to be govern ed by Thee!

O that thy Holy Spirit may direct and rule my heart; subdue in me all pride, covetousness, hatred, malice, envy, lust, uncleanness, and whatever shall offend Thee.

THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH, AS IT is

IN HEAVEN.

1 Thess. iv. 3. This is the will of God, even our sanctification.

Thou hast sent us into the world, not to do our own will but thine. O'subject my will to thine.

May thy name be honored by the good lives of Christians.

O that I may have respect unto all thy commands. May thy will, revealed to us in thy holy word, be the rule of my will, of my desires, of my words, life, and actions.

GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD.

John vi. 27.

Labor not for the meat, which perisheth; but for that meat, which endureth unto everlasting life.

Lord, give us evermore this bread. Give us ́the necessaries of life; but above all the bread, that nourisheth to eternal life.

AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES, AS WE FORGIVE THEM, WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US.

Luke vi. 37. Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.

Grant, O Heavenly Father, that I may close with this merciful condition of pardon. Thou hast been all mercy to me, O God, grant that I may be so to all others. May thy grace, O Father, give me a heart ever ready to forgive!

AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION. I Cor. x. 13. Let him, that thinketh he standeth, take heed, lest he fall.

Let not any confidence in ourselves provoke Thee, O God, to leave us to ourselves.

2 Pet. ii. 9. The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation.

Thou, O Father, knowest my infirmities, and the power of my enemies; be not wanting to me in the hour of temptation.

Matth. xxvi. 41. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

Make me mindful of my weakness, that I may be more watchful and importunate for grace. Fortify my soul against the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil, for Jesus Christ's sake.

BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

1 Pet. v. 8. Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.

Grant, O Heavenly Father, that this adversary may never find me off my guard, nor from
