A Prayer for the Spirit's Work in Our Lives (Valley of Vision)

The Valley of Vision is a wonderful collection of prayers from various Reformed pastors in the 17th and 18th century which was poetically arranged by Arthur Bennet. As I was praying through a section of it, I came across this very helpful prayer that is directed to the Holy Spirit:

O Holy Spirit,

As the sun is full of light, the ocean full of water, heaven full of glory, so may my heart be full of you.

All the purposes of divine love and the redemption accomplished by Jesus would be vain and empty, apart from your working within, regenerating by your power, giving me eyes to see Jesus, showing me the realities of the unseen world.

Fill me with yourself without measure, as an unimpaired fountain, as inexhaustible riches.

I lament my coldness, poverty, emptiness, imperfect vision, languid service, prayerless prayers, praiseless praises.

Protect me from grieving or resisting you.

Come as power, to expel every rebel lust, to reign supreme and preserve me.

Come as teacher, leading me into all truth, filling me with all wisdom and understanding.

Come as love, that I may adore the Father, and love him as my all.

Come as joy, to dwell in me, move in me, animate me, and increase my affections for the things of God.

Come as light, illuminating the Scripture and molding me in its laws.

Come as sanctifier, consecrating me body and soul to the service of the Kingdom.

Come as helper, with the strength to bless and keep, directing my every step.

Come as beautifier, bringing order out of confusion and loveliness out of chaos.

Magnify your mighty work by being magnified in me, and make me redolent of your fragrance.
