Puritan Prayer: ‘Give me Summer Weather in my Heart”

Heavenly Father,
My faith is in Thee,
-my expectation is from Thee,
-my love goes out toward Thee.
-I believe Thee,
-I rely on Thy promises, I trust Thy providence.

I do not need signs and wonders to believe, for Thy Word is sure truth.
I have cast my anchor in the port of peace knowing that my present and future are in nail-pierced hands. I yield to Thy sovereignty all that I am and have. Do with me as Thou wilt.

If I sin and am rebellious, help me to repent, then take away my mourning and give me music.
Remove my sackloth and adorn me with beauty;
Take away my sighs and fill my mouth with songs.
And when I am restored and rest in Thee,
GIVE ME SUMMER WEATHER IN MY HEART.
