PRAYER<br />
O My Heavenly Father, since You have visited me with sickness,<br />
graciously grant that it may be sanctified to my soul. Grant me a calm<br />
and trustful spirit to repose in Your divine sympathy. Be my comfort in<br />
the day <strong>of</strong> affliction; and remember Your word unto Your servant, on<br />
which You have caused me to hope.<br />
If there is sin in my heart, O God, purify me by whatever means You see<br />
fit. Cleanse my sinful heart, and fit it for the purity and bliss <strong>of</strong> Heaven.<br />
If it be Your will, graciously raise me up again, and give me health <strong>of</strong><br />
body — but anyhow, Lord, glorify Yourself in me. Draw me away from<br />
earthliness <strong>of</strong> spirit, and make me Christlike in all things, that Jesus<br />
may be formed in me the hope <strong>of</strong> glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord.<br />
Amen.<br />

Nearer to Thee.'<br />
<br />
"Though like the wanderer,<br />
The sun gone down,<br />
