Here is today's prayer:

For the power Thou hast given me to lay hold of things unseen;
For the strong sense I have that this is not my home;
For my restless heart which nothing finite can satisfy;
I give Thee thanks, O God.

For the invasion of my soul by Thy Holy Spirit;
For all human love and goodness that speak to me of thee;
For the fullness of Thy glory outpoured in Jesus Christ;
I give Thee thanks, O God.

-From A Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie
