A prayer that we might be God's forever

God of love, awaken our souls. God of power, protect us in temptation. God of forgiveness, cleanse us by the blood of Christ. God of saints, let us share in their inheritance. God of rest, let us be yours for ever. Amen.


Mary Gilbert, daughter of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Gilbert (died 1768, aged 16)

A prayer that our lives may sing of God's faithfulness
