From Morning to Night. A prayer by George Swinnock.
Rock of Ages and everlasting Father, teach me to number my remaining days that I may live every day in the fear of the Lord. Since every day may be my last, may it be my best.
My life is your providence; oh, that it were according to your precepts! Let every day be so devoted to your praise, and every part of it be so employed in your service, that I may be the more prepared to worship you in that place where there is no night, yet always rest,
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will laud You.
Thus I will bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
— Psalm 63:3-4
Even to your old age I will be the same,
And even to your graying years I will bear you!
I have done it, and I will carry you;
And I will bear you, and I will rescue you.
— Isaiah 46:4
"Brothers, even if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, each of you looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted." Galatians 6:1
