O Lord our God, we bless Thee for the comfort of Thy perfect knowledge
of us. We are glad to think that Thou knowest our frame and rememberest
that we are dust. Make us more wise to bring the burden of our moods of
darkness and reaction to the footstool of Thy perfect understanding; but
save us, we beseech Thee, from all yielding in the long fight against
them. Seeing that Thy grace is sufficient for us and Thy strength made
perfect in our weakness, grant us a godly fear of all unmanly surrender.
For Thy Name's sake. Amen.
"_If any man will do his will_
_he shall know of the doctrine._"
(JOHN vii. 17.)
