Robert Hawker: Piercing Heaven – Puritan’s Prayers

My Lord and my God, would I cry out, under the same conscious shame of my dreadful unbelief, as Thomas did?

Yes, Lord, you are still ministering, still serving. And though I lose sight of you a thousand and ten thousand times, it is plain and most evident that nothing but your strength could carry me through.

In all the blessings of your finished redemption, you yourself are serving up grace to your people.

You did first purchase all blessings with your blood, and now you live to see them administered by your Spirit.

Precious Jesus, you are ever with me. By and by I will be with you. I will see you as you are, and I will be satisfied when I awake with your likeness.

Amen.
