A Prayer
Reveal, blessed Jesus! reveal Thy glory to mine eyes, and shed abroad Thy love in my heart. Cause me to rest completely satisfied in Thy undertaking, as the fulfilling-end of the law; and enable me to live upon Thy inexhaustible fulness. Empty me of all self-dependence, and make me truly humble. Show me the beauty of holiness, as delineated in Thy most perfect pattern; and help me to copy it in my own conduct. Raise my affections to heavenly things, and grant me the abiding earnest of my eternal inheritance. Then, though in a sinful world and a militant state,—though harassed with bodily pain, or pinched with worldly poverty, I shall not only be safe but happy. The slavish fears of damnation shall be far distant, and the beams of celestial joy shall shine into my soul. Then, ye sons of sensuality and children of pride, ye may take your sordid pleasures, and boast of your tinsel honours; I shall neither covet your lawless mirth, nor envy your sounding titles. Being dead to the law, and alive to my God; being safe in the hands of my Saviour, and blest with a sense of His love; having death in remembrance and heaven in view, I shall despise your mean pursuits, and abhor your illicit enjoyments. While the world is satisfied with the feather of fading honours, and the froth of perishing pleasures; be it thy concern O my soul! to glorify Him who died for thee and rose again. Then shall substantial pleasures be thy present enjoyment, and unfading honours thy eternal crown. (Abraham Booth).
