We look up unto, and depend upon Thee, O heavenly Father, for all the necessaries and conveniences of this present life. And may our bodily wants engage us to go daily to the throne of grace, for the wants of our souls! Let Thy blessing go along with our honest endeavours, and keep us from all unjust ways of bettering our condition. Give us grace to impart to such as are in want, of what Thou shalt give us more than our daily bread; and with all Thy other favours, give us, we beseech Thee, the blessing of a thankful and contented mind.

a forgiving temper, that we may fulfil this condition of our pardon. Thou art good and merciful in forgiving us: grant we may be so to others; remembering our own infirmities. And may we all live in the same charitable temper, in which we hope and desire to die.

And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil:

O God and Father, who hatest iniquity, and knowest our infirmities, leave us not to the malice and power of the evil one, the devil, to deal with us as he pleaseth: nor to ourselves, and to our own cor

constant practice of every Christian master of a family. Without this, none can reasonably expect to have dutiful children or faithful servants; nor justly hope to have God's blessing in this world, or in the world to

come.

Let some one of the family devoutly read or say what followeth, the rest seriously attending. The Lord hath brought

us safe to the beginning of this day; let us give Him thanks for this and for all His mercies.

Let us pray that we may live in the tear of God, and continue in love and charity with our neighbours:

That His Holy Spirit may direct and rule our hearts, teaching us what to do and what to avoid :

That the grace of God may ever be with us, to support us in all dangers, and carry us through all temptations:

For all which blessings let us devoutly pray. Then all devoutly kneeling, let one say,

O most gracious and merciful God, by whom the world is governed and preserved, we give Thee humble thanks for Thy fatherly care over us; in preserving us from the dangers of the night past, and in bringing us safe this morning to see another day.

We gratefully acknowledge our dependence upon Thee for all the necessaries, conveniences, and comforts of our life; for all the means of our well-being here, and of our everlasting happiness hereafter.

We give Thee thanks for the light of Thy Gospel, and the help of Thy Grace,

and for the promise Thou hast made us of pardon and forgiveness through Thy Son, Christ Jesus, on our sincere repentance and amendment. Give us, we beseech Thee, such a sense of these and all Thy other mercies to us, as may make us truly thankful to Thee for them.

Give us grace that we may ever walk as in Thy sight; make a conscience of all our ways, and, fearing to offend Thee, may never fall into the sins we have repented of.

Enable us to resist and overcome the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil; to follow the motions of Thy good Spirit; to be serious and holy in our lives; true and just in our dealings; watchful overour thoughts, our words, and Our actions; diligent in our business, and temperate in all things.

Give us grace honestly to improve all the talents which Thou hast committed to our trust: And

may no worldly business, no worldly pleasures, divert us from the concerns of the life to come! May Thy blessing be upon our persons, upon our labours, upon Our substance, and upon all that belongs to us; and and may we never undertake any work, which we dare not beg of Thee to prosper !

May Thy grace defend us in all assaults of our enemies; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger; but that all our doings may by ordered by Thy governance, to do always that which is righteous in Thy sight.

Give us, gracious God, what is needful for us, and grace not to abuse Thy favours. Give us, we beseech Thee, contented minds, and make us ever mindful of the wants of others.

Give us, in this world, the knowledge of Thy truth; and in the world to come, life everlasting. Amen.

Hear us, O merciful God, not according to our imperfect petitions, but according to the full meaning of that form of prayer which Jesus Christ hath taught us, and for His sake :--

Our Father, which art in heaven; Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, And the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen.

On Sunday Morning, let the following Prayer be added to your daily Prayers.
