A Puritan Prayer

A Puritan Prayer

Heavenly Father,

I believe thee,

I accept thy Word,

I submit to thy will,

I rely on thy promises,

I trust thy providence.

Thy providence has set the bounds of my habitation,

and wisely administers all my affairs.

Help me to see your providence in all that concerns me,

And may I ever give you thanks.

Amen.*
