A Prayer From the Valley of Vision

O Sovereign Lord,
How little thy undeserved goodness has affected me!  How imperfectly have I improved my religious privileges!  How negligent have I been in doing good to others!  I am before thee in my trespasses and sins, have mercy on me, and may thy goodness bring me to repentance.  Help me to hate and forsake every false way, to be attentive to my condition and character, to bridle my tongue, to keep my heart with all diligence, to watch and pray against temptation, to mortify sin, to be concerned for the salvation of others.  O God, I cannot endure to see the destruction of my kindred.  Let those that are united to me in tender ties be precious in thy sight and devoted to thy glory.
Amen
