Meeting God
Great God, in public and private, in sanctuary and home, may my life be
steeped in prayer, filled with the spirit of grace and supplication, each
prayer perfumed with the incense of atoning blood. Help me, defend me, until
from praying ground I pass to the realm of unceasing praise. Urged by my need,
invited by Thy promises, called by Thy Spirit, I enter Thy presence,
worshipping Thee with godly fear, awed by Thy majesty, greatness, glory, but
encouraged by Thy love.
I am all poverty as well as all guilt, having nothing of my own with which to
repay Thee, but I bring Jesus to Thee in the arms of faith, pleading His
righteousness to offset my iniquities, rejoicing that He will weigh down the
scales for me, and satisfy thy justice. I bless Thee that great sin draws out
great grace, that, although the lest sin deserves infinite punishment because
done against an infinite God, yet there is mercy for me, for where guilt is
most terrible, there Thy mercy in Christ is most free and deep. Bless me by
revealing to me more of His saving merits, by causing Thy goodness to pass
before me, by speaking peace to my contrite heart; strengthen me to give Thee
no rest untiI Christ shall reign supreme within me in every thought, word, and
deed, in a faith that purifies the heart, overcomes the world, works by love,
fastens me to Thee, and ever clings to the cross.
