I am reading another old book called Devotional Prayers by Henry Thornton. Amazing depth of insight and words from a man who lived in the 1800s. I absolutely LOVE this book. It is a book of real faith, purified faith, deep faith, simplified faith. I love to read these prayers in the morning when my own prayers lack substance. Love what he says on pg. 19.
You have given to each of us our work in life; Lord, enable us diligently to perform our respective duties. Let us not waste our time in unprofitableness or idleness, nor be unfaithful to any trust committed to us. Let us not put on the mere appearance of goodness, nor try in any way to deceive those around us. But let us remember that Your eye is upon us, and let us have the testimony of our consciences, that in simplicity and godly sincerity we have our conversation in the world.
Simplicity...
Godly Sincerity... two character traits I pray for in my life.
