Isaac Ambrose: Piercing Heaven – Puritan’s Prayers

Lord, if you give me yourself, I will have every gift. If you give me your Spirit, I will have every good thing.

Come, Holy Spirit, and dwell in my soul. I know you will make the place of your feet glorious. If only I have your presence, I will be all glorious within.

Lord, I have heard that Christ is always praying for his people. May I feel the real result of his intercession. May I actually feel his prayers, and the warmth of that spiritual fire which is falling down from his prayers into my heart.

Lord, warm my spirit, and let me feel your kiss, that I may now have communion with you, your spirit upon me, and your protection over me. Seal my pardon, confirm your grace, and save my soul in the day of Jesus.

Amen.
