Puritan Prayers ~ The Valley of Vision

O God, though I am allowed to approach thee

I am not unmindful of my sins,

I do not deny my guilt,

I confess my wickedness, and earnestly

plead forgiveness.

...Thou has done for me all things well,

hast remembered, distinquished, indulged me.

All my desires have not been gratified,

but thy love denied them to me, 

when fulfilment of my wishes would have

proved my ruin or injury.

My trials have been fewer than my sins,

and when I have kissed the rod it has fallen

from thy hands.

Thou hast often wiped away my tears,

restored peace to my mourning heaart,

chastened me for my profit.

All thy work for me is perfect and

I praise thee.

Amen
