To set the world at naught.
To set the mind firmly on You
and not to hang upon the words of men’s mouths.
To be content to be solitary.
Not to long for worldly pleasures.
Little by little utterly to cast off the world
and rid my mind of all its business.
Gladly to be thinking of God, and to call for His help.
To lean into the comfort of God.
Busily to labor to love Him.
To have continually in mind the passion that Christ suffered for me.
For His benefits unceasingly to give Him thanks.
Of worldly substance, friends, liberty, life and all--
to set the loss at naught, for the winning of Christ.
Amen.
