We must likewise bewail our many actual transgressions, in thought, word, and deed.

1. We must confess and bewail the workings of pride in us.

We have all reason to be humbled for the pride of our hearts; that we have thought of ourselves above what hath been meet, and have not thought soberly, nor walked humbly with our God. 2 Chr 32:26. Rom 12:3. Mic 6:8.

We have leaned to our own understanding, and trusted to our own hearts; and have sacrificed to our own net. Prov 3:5; Prov 28:26. Hab 1:16.

We have sought our own glory more than the glory of Him that sent us, and have been puffed up for that for which we should have mourned. John 7:18. 1 Cor 5:2.

‹ We must likewise bewail our many actual transgressions, in… · The breaking out of passion and rash anger. ›

Pray now: a guided prayer in six parts, with the next heads each day.
