For Consistent Christian Lives

"Lord, you have made yourself to be ours. therefore now show yourself to us in your wisdom, goodness and power. To walk faithfully in our Christian course we need much grace. Supply us out of your rich store. We need wisdom to go in and out inoffensively before others; furnish us with your Spirit. We need patience and comfort, you who are the God of comfort and consolations, bestow comfort and consolation upon us; for Christ's sake. Amen."

Adapted from Richard Sibbes quoted in A Book of Reformed Prayers. Edited by Howard L. Rice and Lamar Williamson, Jr. (Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press, 1998), 32.
