Robert Hawker: Piercing Heaven – Puritan’s Prayers

Why have I found grace in your eyes? Precious Jesus! The only answer is, because you are—and you will be—Jesus.

Lord, I bow down to the dust of the earth, remembering my vileness and your unspeakable glory. Surely I may look to you, in the opening and close of every day, and every month, as the sure and steadfast anchor of my soul.

You have been to me, and you will always be, what you have been to all your redeemed: a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm, and a shade from the heat.

Amen.
