a presidential prayer

Increase my faith in the sweet promises of the gospel;

give me repentance from dead works;
pardon my wanderings,
and direct my thoughts unto thyself,
the God of my salvation;

teach me how to live in thy fear,
labor in thy service,
and ever to run in the ways of thy commandments;
make me always watchful over my heart,

that neither the terrors of conscience,
the loathing of holy duties, the love of sin,
nor an unwillingness to depart this life,
may cast me into a spiritual slumber.

Amen
