Ejaculators Prayers, Etc.

" Then the King said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of Heaven. And I said unto the King . . '' — Nehemiah ii, 4.

On First Arising. — I laid me down and slept, and rose up* again ; for the Lord sustained me. Grlory be to Thee, 0 Lord, who hast given us sleep to refresh the weary frame, — order, sanctify, and govern all my energies, to Thy Glory and the salvation of my soul. In Moments of Temptation. — By Thy Cross and Passion, Good Lord, deliver me. Whm Going to Rest. — I will lay me down m peace, and take my rest, for it is Thou, Lord, only, that makest me dwell m safety. Into Thy Hands, 0 Lord, I commend my spirit, for Thou hast redeemed me, 0 Lord, Thou God of Truth.

In any Danger. — The Lord Himself is my keeper : the Lord is my defence upon my right hand. At any Moment. — 0 Father, sustain me by Thy power; 0 Eternal Son, enlighten me by Thy wisdom ; 0 Holy Spirit, sanctify me by Thy indwelling. Before Reading Holy Scripture. — Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth. Open Thou mine eyes, that I may see the wondrous things of Thy law. Before Prayer.— Lord, teach me how to pray ; Lord, increase my faith. In Beginning any New Undertaking. — Prevent us, 0 Lord, m all our doings with Thy most gracious favour, and further us with Thy continual help ; that m all our works begun, continued, and ended m Thee, we may glorify Thy Holy Name, and finally by Thy mercy obtain everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
