For Thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
Psalm 25: 11
O God, I bless Thee that Thou hast permitted me to lie down in sleep and to awake this morning in safety. Thou hast dispersed the darkness of another night: may no shadow of sin obscure the sunshine of Thy favor and love. May the returning light of day be to me the type and emblem of that better radiance with which Thou visitest the souls of Thy people when they are enabled, in Jesus, to behold a pardoning God seated on a throne of reconciliation and grace.
I come to thee, acknowledging my transgressions in all their heinousness. I have nothing to plead in extenuation. Warnings have been abused, providences slighted, grace resisted, Thy Spirit grieved. It is of the Lord’s mercies I am not consumed – that Thou hast not long ago now consigned me with all this load of aggravated guilt to that place where pardon is unknown.
But I rejoice to know that there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared – that I can bring my great sins to a great Saviour. May I be enabled to feel that this all-glorious name of a reconciled God in Christ is a strong tower into which I may run and be safe. Give me grace in self-renouncing lowliness to disown every other ground of confidence or hope of mercy and to cast myself a broken hearted humbled penitent at the feet of Him on whom was laid the burden of all my transgressions. May mine henceforth be the blessedness of those whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered. May life’s joys be sweetened and life’s sorrows sanctified and life’s terminating hour gladdened with the assurance I am at peace with God. May Thy favor brighten every scene and the sweet sense of Thy reconciling love be interfused with all my occupations. If trial should cloud or darken, may I be brought to feel that there can be no true sadness or disquietude to the soul which has found its rest in the finished work of Jesus and which has attained that blessed peace here which is the prelude of glory hereafter.
Give me grace to walk more closely with Thee in the time to come. Being forgiven much, may I love Thee all the more. May my life be one habitual effort of self and sin crucifixion, seeking to consecrate my soul’s best energies to Him who is willing to blot out as a thick cloud all my transgression. Overrule the discipline of Thy providence for promoting within me this death of sin and this life of righteousness. Amid earth’s manifold disquietudes, its crosses and its losses, enable me with joy to look forward to that blessed hour when there shall be no more sin, and therefore no more sorrow; when every tear shall be wiped from every eye, and when I shall be permitted to know all that is comprehended in the holy beatitude – how blessed indeed are the pure in heart who are to see God.
Direct, control, suggest this day all my designed and thoughts and actions, that every power of my body and every faculty of my mind may unite in devotedness to
Thy sole service and glory. And all I ask is for Jesus sake. Amen.

You can almost feel the hunger and thirst as you read the responses from many in the former Soviet Union for the books that are being distributed by the thousands!
