O most merciful God, let the light of Thy love pierce to the most secret corners of my heart and overcome the darkness of sin within me...
Am I, in my daily life, facing the stress of circumstance with manliness and courage?
Am I grateful for my many blessings?
Am I allowing my happiness to be too much dependent on money?
On business success?
Or on the good opinion of others?
Is the sympathy I show to others who are in trouble commensurate with the pity I would expend on myself, if the same things happened to me?
Let my answer before Thee be truthful, O God.
(A Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie, p. 99)
