VICTORY

Here is a wonderful prayer from the Puritans from THE VALLEY OF VISION, published by Banner of Truth. Watch for information about how you can order THINK VICTORY Resources from the Keswick Online Store ...

O Divine Redeemer,

Great was thy goodness
in undertaking my redemption,
in consenting to be made sin for me,
in conquering all my foes;
Great was thy strength
in enduring the extremities of divine wrath,
in taking away the load of my iniquities;
Great was thy love
in manifesting thyself alive,
in showing thy sacred wounds,
that ever fear might vanish,
and every doubt be removed;
Great was thy mercy
in ascending to heaven
in being crowned and enthroned
there to intercede for me,
there to succour me in temptation
there to open the eternal book,
there to receive me finally to thyself;
Great was thy wisdom
in devising this means of salvation;
Bathe my soul in rich consolations
of thy resurrection life;
Great was thy grace in commanding me to come hand in hand
with thee to the Father,
to be knit to him eternally,
to discover in him my rest,
to find in him my peace,
to behold his glory,
to honor him who alone is worthy,
in giving me the Spirit as teacher, guide, power,
that I may live repenting of sin,
conquer Satan,
find victory in life.
When thou art absent all sorrows are here,
When thou art present all blessings are mine.
Amen

Great prayer for us men who desire to walk in VICTORY. -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK

God's WORD: Proverbs 1; Psalm 57-59; Romans 4

Like art, like music, like so many other disciplines, prayer can only be appreciated when you actually spend time in it. Spending time with the Master will elevate your thinking. The more you pray, the more will be revealed. You will appreciate not only the greatness of prayer, but the greatness of God. Joni Eareckson Tada
