And grant, that I may be a true Mourner, both for my own Sins, and for the Sins of Others. And grant, that I may be much in Prayer for Others as well as my Self.

Grant, That I may long to be in Heaven! And enable me to get as much of that Grace, which will go to Heaven with me, as possibly I can! And to Delight in that which is the Work of Heaven: Delight in the Sabbath; and Delight to Serve God, and Love to be where God is Served; and endeavour after an Actual, as well as an Habitual meetness for Heaven! And so Live, that I may have nothing to do, but to Die and go to Heaven. The Lord give me a very Thankful Heart; and grant that I may be often thinking, What shall I render unto the Lord for all His Benefits?
