There is no hope but in prayer.

If it be good to come under the love of God once, surely it is good to keep ourselves there. And yet how reluctant we are!

Awake, my soul! Why should I give hours and days any longer to the vain world, when there is such a world of misery at my very door? Lord, put thine own strength in me; confirm every good resolution; forgive my past long life of uselessness and folly.
