4. We must pray for the grace of God, and all the kind and powerful influences and operations of that grace.

We come to the throne of grace, that we may obtain not only mercy to pardon, but grace to help in every time of need ; grace for seasonable help. Heb 4:16.

From the fulness that is in Jesus Christ, (in whom it pleased the Father that all fulness should dwell,) let every one of us receive, and grace for grace. Col 1:19. John 1:16.

• We must pray for grace to furnish us for every good thought, word, and work, that we may not only be kept from sin, but may be in every thing as we should be, and do as we should do.
