The Will to Live in Him

"Blessed Lord, who hast caused all holy scriptures to be written for our learning; grant that we may ...Hear them, read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them, that by patience, and comfort of (your) Holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life"

(the book of common prayer by King James)

"Your words were found, and I ate them; and your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, O Lord of Hosts"

(Jer 15:16)

"And no, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears,

we may have confidence and not be ashamed

before Him at His coming" (1 John 2:28)
