Help me by Thy grace, that I fall not

Good Thursday morning, my friends.

We may be redeemed sinners, but we are still sinners none-the-less.  Sometimes, with the strength given us by the Holy Spirit, we can resist temptation.  Othertimes, not so much.  This prayer recognizes this reality, and asks God for assistance in all circumstances.

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Bruce

Lord, without Thee, I can do nothing; with Thee I can do all. 

Help me by Thy grace, that I fall not; 

Help me by Thy strength, to resist mightily the very first beginnings of evil, before it takes hold of me; 

Help me to cast myself at once at Thy sacred feet, and lie still there, until the storm be overpast; 

And if I lose sight of Thee, bring me back quickly to Thee, and grant me to love Thee better, for Thy tender mercy's sake. 

Amen.

-- E.B. Pusey
