He came to bring the Mourners Joy

Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that Time, and have declared it? ye are even My Witnesses. Is there a God beside Me? Yea, there is no God; I know not any.

O my Soul! arise and consider with Devotion how God revealed Himself, and how He should be esteemed. He is the Most High in Heaven and on Earth. He should be praised at all Times as the Creator of the entire Universe.

God! You are the One for ever and ever! There is no other. You are the only Comfort and Salvation. Besides You there is no other Helper or Saviour. Let me, Lord, trust only You with all my Heart. Let me be utterly devoted to You, and cling to You and build my Life upon You, God, alone.

O Lord, my God! You are one Spirit, and You give to us all Things spiritual, according to Your Will. Help me to be Spiritual, so that I may feel Your Power within me, that when I come before You I can worship You in Spirit and in Truth.

You are, O God of Eternity, without Beginning and without End. Grant that my Heart turn away from Temporal Joys, that I may always remember and pray that You would grant me the imperishable Inheritance with You. Do not let the World and it’s Distractions change my Heart.

O God! You are Everywhere and Immeasurable. Wherever we are, we are not Forgotten by You. Do not let me doubt that You can take care of me, where ever I maybe. Let me fear You and be Ashamed of the Evil that I do in Your Sight.

It is Infinite, Lord! Your Power to save those who love You, and to wreak Vengeance on those who despise You. Grant me Your Protection that I need not fear Human Wrath, but only Your Punishment. In fear I plead to You for the Safety of my Body and Soul.

God! You are full of the highest Wisdom, it cannot be measured. No matter how grievous the Situation, You always know of a Solution. Grant that I may always trust in You and give my Cares to You. Let me not think or do Evil, because You know all that is Hidden, and test my Heart.

God! You are Holy and Just: You cannot tolerate Sin. If we want to be Your Servant we must avoid all Evil. Grant that I may strive for Holiness, pursue Justice, and accept Your Judgments. And Lord, help me to Understand!

Lord, You are very Merciful and Good. When a Sinner repents and turns to You, You have Mercy as a Father with his Children. Lord, let my Heart always find Comfort in Your Love and Mercy, take my Transgressions as far away from me as the Morning is from the Night.

Lord! You are Truth, and Blessed are those who believe. Heaven and Earth may pass away, but Your Word, Lord, endures for ever. Grant that I may fear Your Judgment and live in Hope of Your Promises which You gave to me. Hope will banish the Shame of my Sin.

Lord! You freely give Your Blessings. You are a Merciful God, and give abundantly that which pleases You. Let me be content with Your holy Will. From You and only You do I expect Goodness and Mercy.

God, if I know and honour You, and make Your Word my Foundation, I can rejoice more in it than in all other Treasures. You are the true Light and I speak Your Name with Reverence and with Praise unceasing.

God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit! Who desire to be praised on Earth by one and all, let Your Glory shine. Grant me Grace, Power and Strength that I may say Your Name and praise Your good Works at all Times. Lord, grant me this as long as I remain on this Earth. Amen.
