WORSHIPFUL
Devotional Prayerful
We bless thee for all uplifting ministries
Unite us all by the bonds of tender sympathy
Thou hast done great things for us, whereof we are glad
In thy great love do thou nourish the hearts that are given over to sore trial
With thine own gentle hand dry the tears of sorrow
Heal with balm from heaven the wounded spirit
Our days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle
Thou only hast the keys of all power
Send sweet messages of hope and love to all for whom we ought to pray
Pity those who have no pity on themselves
Out of the fullness of thy grace send us answers that shall make us glad
Raise again every buried hope
Give life again to all our noblest ambitions
Behold what manner of love thou hast bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God
Thou art able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think
Be thou with our dear ones——building up their homes and blessing their firesides
Unite us in the indissoluble fellowship of sympathy with the heart of Christ
Do thou speak comfortably to anxious hearts
Our days are a continuance of thy favor
We are living to praise thee
Inspire every soul with unusual gladness
Comfort those that mourn, may they be richer for their tears
Grant unto us the tender solaces of thy gospel, the sweet comfort of thy grace
We would make mention of thy loving kindness
Until we take our place in the city whose hills are light
Enable us to meet with gentleness and forbearance any opposition to our wishes
And when we shall have fulfilled thy purposes concerning us on earth may we be received into the everlasting mansions revealed to us through Jesus Christ our Lord
Fortify us by thy spirit against the temptations that await us
May the sweet influences of the Gospel gladden and redeem many hearts
Rule thou in our hearts
Fill us with holy thoughts and noble desires
May we be warned of sin and its dreadful consequences
We thank thee for the rich promises and precious hopes of the Gospel of thy Son
We would breathe into thine ear our gratitude for mercies so free
May our hearts glow with a renewed sense of thy love
(Fulfill in us Thy gracious promises)
Help us to cherish the heavenly disposition of Jesus Christ our Lord
Scatter the darkness from our minds by the beam of thy heavenly truth
Teach us how to attain that holiness which will make us holy like thee
Clothe us with all social and domestic graces
Help us to discharge our debt to the world
Daily we would supplicate thy mercy and protection
Make our duties plain before us
May we be inflexible in every good purpose
Unseal our spiritual vision
We pray for those who are languishing on beds of sickness and have wearisome days and nights assigned them
We are sorry that we are so fondly attached to the things that perish
Encompass our minds this day with thoughts of heaven
Wilt thou take us unto thy keeping this day
Pity our frailties
Inspire us with an abiding gratitude
In the defenseless hours of sleep thou hast preserved us
With the light of another morning we would lift our hearts to thee in grateful acknowledgment of thy goodness
Suffer not our ears to become dull to the cry of misery
May no day pass without thy blessing
May our hearts be open to the glad tidings
Keep us from distrustful thoughts
Give us a cheerful and unfailing confidence that Thou art at the heart of affairs
May our trials be borne with Christian meekness
May our difficulties work out for us some spiritual good
Encourage us in every right endeavor
May the thought that thou seest us check every wrong motive and evil impulse
Give us calmness and self-control under every disappointment and provocation
Fill our hearts with thy rich grace
Soften our sorrows
Grant us thy reviving grace
Fill us with thy perfect love
Cheer saddened hearts
In our spirits sweetly move
Sanctify our deep distress
