"The Never's of the Gospel"

     Let us pray that we never fail to come to the knowledge of the divine truth of God.  May we never rest in a system of doctrine that does not further spiritual salvation.  May we teach against ungodliness and worldly lusts.  May doctrine lead us to live soberly, righteously and godly.  May we never rely on our own convictions and resolutions.  Let us pray that we would be strong in Christ and His might.  May we never cease to find God's grace all-sufficient.  May we find His grace sufficient in our duties, trails and conflicts.  May we never forget to go to Him in all spiritual distresses and outward troubles and all dissatisfactions experienced in creature comforts.  Let us retreat to the Lord who is full of divine grace and truth.  He is the friend that loves at all times.  He is touched with the feeling of our infirmities.  He can do exceeding abundant for us.  May we never confine religion to extraordinary situations.  Let us acknowledge the good Lord in all our ways.  May we never limit our devotions to particular seasons but let us rest in His fear all day long.  Let us not be merely godly on the Christian Sabbath or in thy house, but let us be godly everywhere.  Let us never make piety a dress or a habit but may we live by nature and life to live the Gospel out.  We ask God to do good to us in all His dispensations by His grace through worship, prayer and praises.  May one day enter into the world where there is no temple, but only the glory of the Lamb and the Lamb Himself.  Amen.
