The Chosen Pleasure Ground of Our Souls, by Henry Law, 1797-1884

If our resources have blessed you, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to support our ministry work.

O God of patience and consolation, glory be to You for this throne of grace.
Make it ever to us- the chosen pleasure ground of our souls.
May it be the fortress to which continually we flee.
Here, may we obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Here, may we see by faith, Your reconciled smile.
And here may we rejoice to plead the name of Jesus.

Here may we . . .

sharpen the sword of the Spirit, anoint the shield of faith, and put on the helmet of salvation.

By prayer also, may we gather supplies of heavenly manna–even the precious nourishment of Your Word.

Thus may we be . . .

strengthened for each conflict, nerved for our upward race, and empowered for more than conquest over every foe.

We know that Christ is the open channel through which all blessings descend upon us. Help us to beg until the sluices of mercy are widely open and our souls are so replenished that there will be no room to receive more.

We marvel at our cruel folly: When such enriching favors are within our reach, we are so slow to extend the hand to take them!

Have compassion on our deadness for Your great name’s sake.

Quicken us, arouse us, stir us up, fill us with holy zeal, and put strength into us so that we may strive with You and refuse to let You go. It is

Your glory to be vanquished by the power of prayer. May Your Spirit within us wrest all spiritual blessings from Your yielding hands!

From “Family Prayers” by Henry Law

Words of Wisdom from the Cloud of Witnesses: "Cloud of Witnesses" refers to those in Heaven who have run their races and are now with the Lord. Their words of wisdom are filled with faith, hope, love, and joy that warm our souls. Their words present the eternal truths of God that grow us and give us joy. And their words strengthen our souls, equip our minds, encourage our hearts, and empower us to stand firm in our faith and be motivated, ready, and willing to share the hope we have in Jesus.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith...(Hebrews 12:1-2)

Do You Know Jesus?

The Bible clearly states that everyone has sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). It also emphasizes that while the wages of sin is death, God offers us the incredible gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).

If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, know that today is the day of salvation (Acts 28). Turn away from your sinful past and turn to Jesus. Remember, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved” (Romans 10:13). Don’t wait—find hope and redemption!
