Thy Kingdom Come
Luke 11: 2
O eternal ever-blessed God whose merciful kindness is new to me every morning – give me throughout this day that peace which the world cannot give. As the beams of the sun are lighting up anew my earthly chamber, may the inner chamber of my soul be illumined by a better and brighter radiance. Jesus! Thou blessed Fountain of light and life and glory, do Thou disperse all the darkness of unbelief and sin. May Thy presence and love hallow all my joys and mitigate and sanctify all my sorrows.
Before I enter on the day’s duties sprinkle Thou anew the lintels and door-posts of my heart with Thine own most precious blood. May my inmost thoughts, purposes, desires, and affections be consecrated to that God whose property they are. May I have an increasing experience of the sweets of Thy favor and friendship and love. With Thee, blessed Lord, I am rich, whatever else I want; without Thee, I am poor, though I have the wealth of worlds. Take what Thou wilt away – but take not Thyself. Nothing can fill and satisfy the longings of my immortal nature but Thee. All worldly happiness and creature joys are poor substitutes for the inexhaustible source of all joy. Let me know what it is amid the wreck of earthly refuges and hopes to exult in the persuasion, “The Lord liveth; and blessed by my Rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.”
While I pray that Thy kingdom may come in my own heart, I would especially pray for its extension throughout the world. Arise O God and let Thine enemies be scattered. May the blessed day soon arrive when a rejoicing and emancipated world shall own no longer habitations of darkness and cruelty, when Jew and Gentile shall welcome the Prince of Peace to the Throne of Universal Empire and all ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God. Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly. Let the cry soon break over Thy now burdened Church, “Let us be glad and rejoice, for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready.” Grant Lord, that I may be in readiness to meet Thee. May my loins now be girded and my lamp brightly burning that at the Bridegroom’s summons I may be able joyfully to respond, “Lo, this is my God! I have waited for Him.”
Grant this day to all near and dear to me as well as to myself the special tokens of Thy blessing and love. Fold my beloved friends in the arms of Thy mercy. Teaching them to do Thy holy will. Do Thou say of them and to them, “The same is my mother, and sister, and brother.” Guide us all by Thy counsel here. May we feel that the way in which Thou art leading us is the kindest and the best that covenant love can devise, and when our appointed time on earth is finished, do Thou receive us into everlasting habitations through Jesus Christ our Lord.
And now, to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit be ascribed as is most due all blessing and honor and glory and praise world without end. Amen.
by Rev. J.R. Macduff

YOU MUST READ THIS!
You can almost feel the hunger and thirst as you read the responses from many in the former Soviet Union for the books that are being distributed by the thousands!

CONVERSIONS IN PRISON!
All these endless “whys” were the beginning of my search for God. Gradually God started revealing Himself to me, but sin prevented me from coming to Him. During 11 years of imprisonment, the Lord was leading me to pure repentance.
