• “I was poor in the midst of riches, and ready to perish with hunger near a table plentifully spread and a continual feast. Oh, Beauty, ancient and new! Why have I known thee so late? Alas, I sought thee where thou wast not, and did not seek thee where thou wast…” – Madame Guyon

Prayers Ancient and Modern 01/08

Grant unto us, Almighty GOd, of Thy good Spirit, that quiet heart, and that patient lowliness to which Thy comforting Spirit comes; that we, being humble toward Thee, and loving toward one another, may have our heails prepared for that peace of Thine which passeth understanding; which, if we have, the storms of life can hurt us but iitile, and the cares of life vex us not at all; in presence of which death shall lose ils sting, and the grave its terror; and we, in calm joy, walk all the days of our appointed time, until our great change shall come—Amen.

George Dawson

O God, mercifully grant unto us that the fire of Thy love may burn up in us all things that displease Thee, and make us meet far Thy heavenly kingdom—Amen.

  • “My soul remained in a kind of heavenly elysium. So far as I am capable of making a comparison, I think that what I felt each minute, during the continuance of the whole time, was worth more than all the outward comfort and pleasure, which I had enjoyed in my whole life put together. It was a pure delight, which fed and satisfied the soul. It was peasure, without the least sting, or any interruption. It was a sweetness, which my soul was lost in. It seemed to be all that my feeble frame could sustain, of that fulness of joy, which is felt by those, who behold the face of Christ, and share his love in the heavenly world.” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards
