Prayer of Trust (Richard Baxter)

Lord, it belongs not to my care whether I die or live; to love and serve thee is my share, and this thy grace must give. If life be long, I will be glad that I may long obey; if short, yet why should I be sad to soar to endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms than he went through before; he that unto God's kingdom comes must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet thy blessed face to see; for if thy work on earth be sweet, what will thy glory be? Amen.
