A Prayer of Repentance:
Searcher of hearts, it is a good day to me when You give me a glimpse of myself;
sin is my greatest evil, but You are my greatest good;
I have cause to loathe myself, and not to seek self-honour,
for no one desires to commend his own dunghill.
My country, family, church fare worse because of my sins…
Give me grace to recall my needs.
(from The Valley of Vision)
A Prayer of Thanksgiving:
O Lord God,
Teach me to know that grace precedes, accompanies, and follows my salvation,
that it sustains the redeemed soul, that not one link of its chain can never break.
From Calvary’s cross wave upon wave of grace reaches me,
deals with my sin, washes me clean,
renews my heart, strengthens my will,
draws out my affection,
kindles a flame in my soul.
(From The Valley of Vision)
