Heavenly Father,
if I should suffer need,
and go unclothed,
and be in poverty,
make my heart
prize Your love,
know it,
be constrained
by it,
though I be
denied all blessings.
It is Your mercy to afflict and try me with wants,
for by these trials I see my sins, and desire severance from
them.
Let me willingly accept misery,
sorrows,
temptations,
if I can thereby feel sin as the
greatest evil, and be delivered from it with gratitude to You, acknowledging
this as the highest testimony of Your love.
Prayer modified from The Valley Of Vision: A Collection Of
Puritan Prayers by Arthur G.
Bennett
