[Faith-talk] A prayer of Consecration and Worship

[Poppa Bear]

  Consecration and Worship
  My God, I feel it is heaven to please Thee, and to be what Thou wouldst have 
  me be. O that I were holy as Thou art holy, pure as Christ is pure, perfect as 
  Thy Spirit is perfect! These, I feel, are the best commands in Thy Book, and 
  shall I break them? must I break them? am I under such a necessity as long as 
  I live here? 
  Woe, woe is me that I am a sinner, that I grieve this blessed God, who is 
  infinite in goodness and grace! O if He would punish me for my sins, it would 
  not would my heart so deep to offend Him; But though I sin continually, He 
  continually repeats His kindness to me. 
  At times I feel I could bear any suffering, but how can I dishonour this 
  glorious God? What shall I do to glorify and worship this best of beings? O 
  that I could consecrate my soul and body to His service, without restraint, 
  for ever! O that I could give myself up to Him, so as never more to attempt to 
  be my own! or have any will or affections that are not perfectly conformed to 
  His will and His love! But, alas, I cannot live and not sin. 
  O may angels glorify Him incessantly, and, if possible, prostrate themselves 
  lower before the blessed King of heaven! I long to bear a part with them in 
  ceaseless praise; but when I have done all I can to eternity I shall not be 
  able to offer more than a small fraction of the homage that the glorious God 
  deserves. Give me a heart full of divine, heavenly love.
