PRAYER

When we stumble and fall,

Even if only in thought or feeling,

"O Lord,

 I have opened the door of my
heart to Thy worst enemy,

 and the worst enemy of my soul.

 I have acted as though I could save my own soul,

 as if I could sin

 and then reform when I choose to do so;

 but I find a power

 holding me in his keeping.

Thou alone can save me

 that my soul shall

 not be eternally ruined. . . .

 No longer will I

withhold it from Thee.

 I dare not trust it

with any power but Thine. . . .
I lay it at Thy feet.

Thou Lamb of God,

wash my soul in the blood of the Lamb;

clothe it with Thine own garments

 of purity and righteousness.
