Prayer for Today

Thou Great I AM. . .

I need faith;
Thou who has given it to me -- maintain, strengthen, increase it --
Center it upon the Savior's work,
upon the majesty of the Father,
upon the operations of the Spirit;

Work it in me now that I may never doubt thee

as the truthful, mighty, faithful God.
Then I can bring my heart to thee
full of love, gratitude, hope, joy.
May I lay at thy feet these fruits grown in thy garden,
love thee with a passion that can never cool,
believe in thee with a confidence that never staggers,
hope in thee with an expectation that can never be dim,
delight in thee with a rejoicing that cannot be stifled,
glorify thee with the highest of my powers,
burning, blazing, glowing, radiating, as from thy own glory.
