“The prayer of faith shall save.” – James 5:15
~
O Lord, increase our faith. By it may we be enabled to
remove mountains of difficulty from our way. May it be our shield with which to
quench the darts of temptation. May it steady and encourage us as we endeavor
to form our plans and assume our duties and responsibilities in accord with Thy
will. May it deliver us from fearful anxiety respecting our own welfare, and
that of our loved ones whom we commit to Thy care. May it incline us to be forgiving and patient
and considerate and sympathic. May it prompt us to gracious and kindle words
and deeds. May it save us from being too much gratified by praise, and from
being too much east down by blame. May it lend zest to the day’s toil, and
quicken us to renewed energy and fidelity in our work. May it impel us to
humility and gratitude when we are granted prosperity and happiness, and my it
preserve us against bitterness and bloom of spirit if want and sorrow become our
portion. May it strengthen our hold upon possessions that abide, and be unto us
the evidence of things not seen, and the substance of things hoped for. May it
assure us each day, as we fare on our pilgrimage, that Thou art nigh, and lead
us into the blessed experience of companying with Thee as a man walketh and
talketh with a friend. Amen.
