[Faith-talk] Prayer of Devotion

[Poppa Bear]

Devotion
  God of my end, it is my greatest, noblest pleasure to be acquainted with Thee 
  and with my rational, immortal soul; it is sweet and entertaining to look into 
  my being when all my powers and passions are united and engaged in pursuit of 
  Thee, when my soul longs and passionately breathes after conformity to Thee 
  and the full enjoyment of Thee; no hours pass away with so much pleasure as 
  those spent in communion with Thee and with my heart. 
  O how desirable, how profitable to the Christian life is a spirit of holy 
  watchfulness and godly jealousy over myself when my soul is afraid of nothing 
  except grieving and offending Thee, the blessed God, my Father and friend, 
  whom I then love and long to please, rather than be happy in myself! Knowing, 
  as I do, that this is the pious temper, worthy of the highest ambition, and 
  closest pursuit of intelligent creatures and holy Christians, may my joy 
  derive from glorifying and delighting Thee. I long to fill all my time for 
  Thee, whether at home or in the way; to place all my concerns in Thy hands; to 
  be entirely at Thy disposal, having no will or interest of my own. Help me to 
  live to Thee for ever, to make Thee my last and only end, so that I may never 
  more in one instance love my sinful self.
