Prayer CVIII

O Lord! Who hast of old called a man Thy friend, may we be friends of Thine, and Abraham’s God be our God. Thou art the same to-day as in the most blessed yesterday, and as in the most glorious to-morrow. May we feel Thee with us, a present God in each present moment of our lives; and do Thou give us Thy strength to live, and Thy peace in our hearts in all circumstances. May we indeed celebrate Thy praise, and magnify Thy holy Name in our daily lives.

Look upon us, and give us Thy blessing this evening. May that divine Spirit Whom Thou hast promised and given be felt to be with us, and may all our service be rendered in, and accepted through, Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
