"But I will leave among you a humble and lowly people, and they will take refuge in the name of the LORD." Zephaniah 3:12
Prayers of the Puritans are humbling at best. I've been reading "Valley of Vision" in my devotion time recently and have written down some excerpts that go along with the above passage:
"No comfort in anything apart from enjoying thee and being engaged in thy service. I rejoice to think that all things are at thy disposal and it delights me to leave them there."
"When thou art present, evil cannot abide; in thy fellowship is fullness of joy, beneath thy smile is peace of conscience, by thy side no fears disturb, no apprehensions banish rest of mind."
"Thou art all good in times of peace, my only support in days of trouble, my one sufficiency when life shall end."
Let us take refuge in the name of the LORD.
