Philip Doddridge: Piercing Heaven – Puritan’s Prayers

Lord, we commit our souls to your almighty hand. Under the sanctifying, life-giving, and supporting influences of your Spirit, help us to wait for your mercy that leads to eternal life.

Then nothing will sidetrack us—no terror of suffering, allure of pleasure, or false arguments. But guided by the light and truth of Scripture, we will march on to your holy hill.

And when we escape all the dangers of the dark path we are now on, we will greet the dawn of an everlasting day.

Then we will see the Daystar rise, never to set again.

Amen.
