A Prayer of Supplication

(The Valley of Vision – Edited)

Heavenly Father,

In public and private, in sanctuary and home,

may my life be steeped in prayer,

filled with the spirit of grace and supplication,

each prayer perfumed with the incense of atoning blood.

Help me, defend me, until from praying on the ground

I pass to the realm of unceasing praise.

Urged by my need, invited by your promises, called by your Spirit,

I enter your presence, worshipping you with godly fear,

awed by your majesty, greatness, and glory,

but encouraged by your love.

I am all poverty as well as all guilt,

having nothing of my own with which to repay thee.

But Christ has me in his arms,

pleading his righteousness to offset my iniquities.

I rejoice, knowing that he will weigh down the scales for me,

and satisfy your justice.

Thank you, Father, that great sin draws out great grace,

that, although the least sin deserves infinite punishment

because it is done against an infinite God,

yet there is mercy for me,

for where guilt is most terrible,

mercy in Christ is most free and deep.

Bless me by revealing to me more of His saving merits,

by causing you your goodness to pass before me,

by speaking peace to my contrite heart;

Strengthen me to not fall asleep

until Christ reigns supreme within me,

in every thought, word, and deed,

in a faith that purifies the heart,

overcomes the world,

works by love,

fastens me to thee,

and ever clings to the cross.

Amen.
