Devotionals: Daily Devotional

O LORD, Whose power is infinite and wisdom infallible, Order things that they may neither hinder, nor discourage me, nor prove obstacles to the progress of thy cause; Stand between me and all strife, that no evil befall, no sin corrupt my gifts, zeal, attainments; May I follow duty and not any foolish device of […]

ETERNAL FATHER, It is amazing love, that thou hast sent thy Son to suffer in my stead, that thou hast added the Spirit to teach, comfort, guide, that thou hast allowed the ministry of angels to wall me round; All heaven subserves the welfare of a poor worm. Permit thy unseen servants to be ever […]

GLORIOUS JEHOVAH, MY COVENANT GOD, All thy promises in Christ Jesus are yea and amen, and all shall be fulfilled. Thou hast spoken them, and they shall be done, commanded, and they shall come to pass. Yet I have often doubted thee, have lived at times as if there were no God. Lord, forgive me […]

THOU GREAT I AM, I acknowledge and confess that all things come of thee— life, breath, happiness, advancement, sight, touch, hearing, goodness, truth, beauty— all that makes existence amiable. In the spiritual world also I am dependent entirely upon thee. Give me grace to know more of my need of grace; Show me my sinfulness […]

GOD OF MY END, It is my greatest, noblest pleasure to be acquainted with thee and with my rational, immortal soul; It is sweet and entertaining to look into my being when all my powers and passions are united and engaged in pursuit of thee, when my soul longs and passionately breathes after conformity to […]

O GOD MOST HIGH, MOST GLORIOUS, The thought of thine infinite serenity cheers me, For I am toiling and moiling, troubled and distressed, but thou art for ever at perfect peace. Thy designs cause thee no fear or care of unfulfilment, they stand fast as the eternal hills. Thy power knows no bond, thy goodness […]

MY GOD, I feel it is heaven to please thee, and to be what thou wouldst have me be. O that I were holy as thou art holy, pure as Christ is pure, perfect as thy Spirit is perfect! These, I feel, are the best commands in thy Book, and shall I break them? must […]

MY DEAR LORD, I can but tell thee that thou knowest I long for nothing but thyself, nothing but holiness, nothing but union with thy will. Thou hast given me these desires, and thou alone canst give me the thing desired. My soul longs for communion with thee, for mortification of indwelling corruption, especially spiritual […]

MY FATHER, If thy mercy had bounds, where would be my refuge from just wrath? But thy love in Christ is without measure. Thus, I present myself to thee with sins of commission and omission, against thee, my Father, against thee, adorable Redeemer, against thee and thy strivings, O Holy Spirit, against the dictates of […]

GIVER OF ALL, Another day is ended and I take my place beneath my great Redeemer’s cross, where healing streams continually descend, where balm is poured into every wound, where I wash anew in the all-cleansing blood, assured that thou seest in me no spots of sin. Yet a little while and I shall go […]

O LOVER OF THY PEOPLE, Thou hast placed my whole being in the hands of Jesus, my Redeemer, Commander, Husband, Friend, and carest for me in him. Keep me holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners; May I not know the voice of strangers, but go to him where he is, and follow where he leads. […]

ALMIGHTY GOD, As I cross the threshold of this day I commit myself, soul, body, affairs, friends, to thy care; Watch over, keep, guide, direct, sanctify, bless me. Incline my heart to thy ways; Mould me wholly into the image of Jesus, as a potter forms clay; May my lips be a well-tuned harp to […]

O GOD, THE AUTHOR OF ALL GOOD, I come to thee for the grace another day will require for its duties and events. I step out into a wicked world, I carry about with me an evil heart, I know that without thee I can do nothing, that everything with which I shall be concerned, […]

COMPASSIONATE LORD, Thy mercies have brought me to the dawn of another day, Vain will be its gift unless I grow in grace, increase in knowledge, ripen for spiritual harvest. Let me this day know thee as thou art, love thee supremely, serve thee wholly, admire thee fully. Through grace let my will respond to […]

LORD JESUS, GREAT HIGH PRIEST, Thou hast opened a new and living way by which a fallen creature can approach thee with acceptance. Help me to contemplate the dignity of thy Person, the perfectness of thy sacrifice, the effectiveness of thy intercession. O what blessedness accompanies devotion, when under all the trials that weary me, […]
