I may then recommend myself to the conduct, protection, and government of the divine grace, in the further services that lie before me and in the whole course of my life.

Beg for the Forgiveness of What has been Amiss in your Prayers

Lord, I have not prayed as I ought: Romans 8:26(NIV) who is there who does what is right and never sins? Ecclesiastes 7:20(NIV) Even when I want to do good, evil is right there with me, Romans 7:21(NIV) for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out: For the good I want to do is not what I do; Romans 7:18-19(NIV) so that you might justly refuse to listen, even if I offer many prayers. Isaiah 1:15(NIV) But I have a great High Priest, who bears the guilt involved in the sacred gifts the Israelites consecrate, whatever their gifts may be; Exodus 28:38(NIV) for his sake, forgive all the sin and guilt of your people, even all the guilt of my sacred gifts, and receive me graciously, Hosea 14:2(NIV) and love me freely, Hosea 14:4(NIV) and do not deal with me according to my folly. Job 42:8(NIV)
