William Bridge: Piercing Heaven – Puritan’s Prayers

Lord, you have made a covenant of grace with a poor person. This covenant of grace is founded on the priestly office of Jesus Christ.

The new covenant promises that we will all be taught by God. Lord, I am ignorant! Teach me by the work of Christ, that I may be made wise in salvation.

Lord, you have made a covenant of grace with a poor man, a covenant which says, “I will write my law in your inward parts.”

So now, Lord, seeing that Jesus Christ has founded this covenant in his blood, and I am one of those for whom he made satisfaction: write your law in my inward parts, that I may do all your will.

Amen.
