47. Prayer

Prayer

O God, may there be nothing in us to hinder the glory of the cross from flashing in upon our hearts and lives. O help us, by Thy grace, so to yield to the Holy Spirit that He will be able to work into us all the purpose and all the death of Christ; that nothing in us may hinder the glory flashing out upon this poor world, this world that is rushing about in its madness and despair, crying, “Where is thy balm?”

Out of our broken lives, out of our lives broken up by the Holy Spirit, may the glory flash, that some poor darkened, wandering, despairing, hungry soul roundabout us may see the glory and may see that it is the glory of the Lamb who died for him.

Continue thy presence with us, and bless us and guard us, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
