Robert Hawker: Piercing Heaven – Puritan’s Prayers

Did you not say, Lord, “Whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full” (John 16:23–24)?

I am encouraged by this saying. So I come now for large supplies of your grace, mercy, pardon, and peace. I seek you, Jesus—you yourself, with your gifts, with all your fullness, and all your blessings.

And I am sure, if you will give me as large a hand to receive as my Lord’s hand is to give, I will be blessed.

Amen and Amen.
