Robert Hawker: Piercing Heaven – Puritan’s Prayers

You, Lord, are too rich to need anything from your creatures, and you have yourself already bought the most costly things with a price no less dear than your own most precious blood.

So my wise, gracious, kind, and compassionate Lord, I pray for grace to accept your counsel, and to buy from you gold tried in the fire, the white clothes of your righteousness, and the anointing of your blessed Spirit. Without money and without price.

I need them all,

Amen.
