Prayer LXXXIV

O Lord our Father, Who dwellest in Thine eternal rest, we thank Thee that there is a Sabbath-keeping for the people of God. We beseech Thee that Thou wouldst come into our hearts this morning, calming all disturbance, dissipating fears, brightening the darkness of sorrow, and helping us to cast all our care upon Thee, that we may know the rest of submission, and the peace that passeth all understanding, of communion with Thee. Teach all our hearts, we beseech Thee; draw near to each of us, and may we all find that of a truth it is no vain thing to wait upon the Lord! Hear us, grant us Thy presence and blessing now, for our risen Lord’s sake.
