A Prayer for the Lord’s Day, September 6 (based on Psalm 112)

“MOST LOVING FATHER, without whose blessing we are altogether poor and miserable creatures imprint thy holy Word on all our hearts, in such sort that our whole pleasure and delight may be to serve thee in all fear and reverence. Grant that we may be so merciful towards our poor neighbours that we may also have a sure feeling of thy mercy and goodness, when thou shalt come to judge the world by him whom thou hast ordained to be our Lord and Sovereign, Jesus Christ. AMEN.”
