Call To Worship: Steady Dependence
Compose our spirits to a quiet and steady dependence on your good providence,
that we may not be anxious for anything, but by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,
still make known our requests to you, our God.
Help us to pray always and not faint; in everything to give thanks,
and offer up the sacrifice of praise continually; to rejoice in hope of your glory;
to possess our souls in patience; and to learn in whatsoever state we are, there to be content.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen!
– John Wesley (edited)
Classic Prayer: St Augustine
Father, you are full of compassion,
I commit and commend myself unto you,
in whom I am, and live, and know.
Be the Goal of my pilgrimage, and my Rest by the way.
Let my soul take refuge from the crowding turmoil of worldly thoughts
beneath the shadow of your wings;
let my heart, this sea of restless waves,
find peace in you, O God.
Amen.
