O everlasting God, let the light of Thine eternity now fall upon my passing days...
Am I living as my conscience approves?
Am I demanding of others a higher standard of conduct than I demand of myself?
Am I taking a less charitable view of the failings of my neighbors than I am of my own?
Am I standing in public for principles which I do not practice in private?
Let my answer before Thee be truthful, O God.
(A Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie, p. 99)
