PRAYER.—Dost thou labor under a load of guilt? Come unto Christ, all that travail and are heavy laden, and he will give you rest! Dost thou feel the pressure of affliction or the blast of censure? Instead of loathing thy being, instead of breaking out into sudden bursts of passion against thy foes, or contracting a settled gloom of malice, unbosom thy secrets, and disburden thy cares to Him who is both able and willing to re-settle thy discomposed mind. All that envenomed rancor which is apt to embitter our spirit against mankind in general, and our enemies in particular, when we suffer undeservedly, will abate and die away as we strive to set our affections on things above. Our thoughts like the waters of the sea, when exhaled toward heaven, will lose their offensive bitterness and sadness, leave behind them each distasteful quality, and sweeten into an amiable humanity and candor, till they descend in gentle showers of love and kindness upon our fellow creatures.—Reed.
