"Our heavenly Father, we praise you for what you are, and for what you are willing to be to every one of us. Reveal to each one of us the terrible influence of wrongdoing, and its present and ultimate punishment. May no one be influenced by man's wisdom when this is contrary to God's truth, and may the fear of sin and the awfulness of punishment have an influence over men, as well as the winsomeness of love. For Jesus' sake. Amen."
