2 Quotes & Sayings By Anonymous Puritan Prayer
A prayer by a Puritan, written for the king of England, asking God to give him wisdom. Behold our Savior Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, who is over all powers and principalities, and to whom there is no other God but him. He rules the world by his almighty word and majesty is above all creation. He governs all things in heaven and on earth by his most holy counsel
And his church which is the pillar and ground of the truth is upon earth, and he rules all things there. Now we beseech thee O God to grant unto our king that wisdom that he may do justly, to rule the people with mercy, to administer justice in equity according to thy will. O God grant unto him that he may be merciful unto his people, both young and old; that he may be merciful unto strangers; that he may be merciful unto them that are put to death; that he may be merciful unto prisoners; that he may be merciful unto those that are bound in prison; that he may be merciful towards widows; that his heart may always remain with us; yea even till death.
Amen.
