Darryl Friesen’s Reviews > O Sacred Head, Now Wounded: A Liturgy for Daily Worship from Pascha to Pentecost > Status Update

I LOVED Clarkson’s hymn, especially the lines “He it is who works within us teaching rebel hearts to pray, he whole holy intercessions rise for us both night and day.” and "He, the mighty God, indwells us; his to strengthen, help, empower, his to overcome the tempter—ours to call in danger’s hour. In his strength we dare to battle all the raging hosts of sin, and by him alone we conquer foes without and foes within.”

One day left! This has been an incredible blessing to do in the weeks following Easter, leading into Pentecost. Phil, thank you so much for walking this devotional path of prayer and growth with me!

“O Lord, we humbly ask you not to withdraw your mercies from us because of our sins, but rather, O Lord, lay upon us your saving health, that you may show yourself toward us to be a Saviour. For what greater praise can there be to a Physician, than to heal the sick; neither can there be any greater glory to you being a Saviour, than to save sinners. Amen.” ~Henry Smith

“How small are the afflictions by which I am often cast down, and plunged in sorrow! I resolve to act with fortitude, but by the slightest evil am confounded and distressed. From the most inconsiderable events the most grievous temptations rise against me; and while I think myself established in security and peace, the smallest blast, if it be sudden, has power to bear me down.” ~Thomas à Kempis

“For I do not seek to understand in order to believe; I believe in order to understand.” ~Anselm
