From the book, Valley of Vision, a collection Of Puritan Prayers and Devotions
The Convicting Spirit" Thou Blessed Spirit, Author of all Grace and Comfort: Come work repentance in my soul; Melt my heart by the majesty and mercy of God; Show me my ruined self and the help there is in Him; Teach me to behold my Creator, His ability to save, His arms outstretched, His heart big for me. May I confide in His power and love, commit my soul to Him without reserve, bear His image, observe His Laws, pursue His service, and be, through the efficacy of His grace, a trophy of His victory. Make me willing to be saved in His way, perceiving nothing in myself, but all in Jesus: to walk with Him, imperfect but still pressing forward, not complaining of labor but valuing rest, not murmuring under trials, but thankful for my state. Give me that faith which is the means of salvation, and the principle and medium of all Godliness; May I be saved by grace through faith, live by faith, do the work of fath. Perceiving nothing in myself, may I find Christ : wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
