“Almighty God and and merciful Father, infinite in grace and sovereign in majesty,
that You would trouble yourself to provide so fully for me, to ensure that my joy in Christ would not, could not, be jeopardized by anything at all, however evil or bizarre,
that You would care that much to design my salvation so securely and infallibly,
that You would pay so much in the Son to get so little in me,
and that You would not only do so but also tell me that You have done so, enabling me to enjoy the security of Your unchanging love— I bow low before You in wonder.
It is all by Your grace and all to Your glory.
I worship You now, blessed God.
I will worship You forever.
In the holy name of Christ.
Amen.”
–Raymond Ortlund Jr., A Passion for God: Prayers and Meditations on the Book of Romans (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 1994), 123.
