God be merciful to me a sinner,
and make me to know and believe in Jesus Christ;
for I see, that if his righteousness had not been,
or I have not faith in that righteousness,
I am utterly cast away.
Lord, I have heard that thou art a merciful God,
and hast ordained that thy Son Jesus Christ
should be the Savior of the world;
and moreover,
that thou art willing to bestow him
upon such a poor sinner as I am—
and I am a sinner indeed.
Lord, take therefore this opportunity,
and magnify thy grace in the salvation of my soul,
through thy Son Jesus Christ.
Amen.
This prayer is the cry of my heart…
