A Prayer for the Lord’s Day, January 4 (Based on Psalm 4)

“MERCIFUL LORD, fountain of all righteousness, who knowest the dangerous assaults wherewith we are assaulted on all sides, refuse not our petitions; but let us have the sure experience of thy favor, and goodness; to the intent that, what affliction soever fall upon us, we may live in peace and quietness of spirit, awaiting the eternal rest which thou has promised to thy children, through thy dear Son, Christ Jesus our Lord. AMEN.”
