Good Tuesday morning, my friends.
Our goal in this life is to become like Christ. This takes a lifetime to achieve. How often to we pray specifically about this goal? Take your time with this prayer - there is a lot in here.
Amazing Grace and Eternal Peace be yours,
Bruce
More holiness give me, more strivings within.
More patience in suffering, more sorrow for sin.
More faith in you, Jesus, more sense of your care.
More joy in your service, more purpose in prayer.
More gratitude give me, more trust in you, Lord.
More zeal for your glory, more hope in your Word.
More tears for your sorrows, more pain at your grief.
More meekness in trial, more praise for relief.
More purity give me, more strength to o'ercome,
More freedom from earth-stains, more longings for home.
More fit for the kingdom, more faithful and true,
More blessèd and holy, more, Savior, like you.
