fellowship

O God the Holy Spirit,

That which I know not, teach me,

Keep me a humble disciple in the school of Christ, learning daily there what I am in myself, a fallen sinful creature, justly deserving everlasting destruction;

O let me never lose sight of my need of a Saviour or forget that apart from him I am nothing and can do nothing.

...

Lead me from faith to faith, that I may at all times have freedom to come to a reconciled Father, and may be able to maintain peace with him against doubts, fears, corruptions, temptations.

Your office is to teach me to draw near to Christ with a pure heart, steadfastly persuaded of his love, in the full assurance of faith.

Let me never falter in this way.
