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

1. That the work of grace may be wrought there where it is not yet begun.

Lord, teach transgressors thy ways, and let sinners be converted unto thee ; and let the disobedient be turned to the wisdom of the just, and make ready a people prepared for the Lord. Ps 51:13. Luke 1:17.

Let those be quickened that are yet dead in trespasses and sins. Say unto them, Live; yea, say unto them, Live; and the time shall be a time of love. Eph 2:1. Ezek 16:6, 8.

Open their eyes, and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among them who are sanctified. Acts 26:18.

By the blood of the covenant send forth the prisoners out of the pit, in which is no water, that they may turn to the strong-hold, as prisoners of hope. Zech 9:11, 12.

Let the word of God prevail to the pulling down of strong-holds, and the casting down of imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and let every thought be brought into obedience to Christ. 2 Cor 10:5.
