My Work is so great and difficult, that in my own Strength I can do nothing. Lord Jesus, I implore thy Aid and Assistance; for thy Merit sake let my Sins all be done away; let me be sanctified, justified, pardoned, and be made meet to be received into those blessed Mansions that are prepared for thy Redeemed Ones. Let me have those Qualifications that are requisite in all those whom thou admittest to live and reign with thee for ever, that Holiness of Life, that Purity of Heart, that Sincerity, that Heavenly-mindedness, that Weanedness from this World and worldly Enjoyments, which is required in all those that love and fear thee. Let me have those Divine Qualities that may render me amiable in the Eyes of my Judg. O blessed Jesus, let thy Righteousness be imputed unto me, and my Sins washed away with thy precious Blood. Deny me not an Interest in thy meritorious Death and Sufferings. I cannot be happy here nor hereafter, without some comfortable Hopes that I do belong to the Election of Grace. Lord, if it be thy Will, let me know assuredly that I am one of ⟨p. 85⟩them for whom Christ died; seeing he died for Sinners, let me never die in my Sins.
