Keith writes: By God’s will I have attained to 80 years of age. I recently read a prayer of John Newton written in his diary 6 years before he actually died. May this be true of me, and please pray that it may be so. “Oh for grace to meet the approach of death with a humble, thankful, resigned spirit becoming my profession. That I may not stain my character by impatience, jealousy, or any hateful temper but may be prepared and permitted to depart in peace and hope and be enabled, if I can speak, to bear my testimony to thy faithfulness and goodness with my past breath. Amen.”
