There is no better way than to begin the work week with prayer! On this episode of 2Days Denarius, a prayer from Puritan David Clarkson is provided to give listeners encouragement and added focus on the Lord to better serve Him in their endeavors. David Clarkson was a Puritan who served as an associate to the great John Owen. He also understood trials since he was one of more than 2,000 Puritan ministers who suffered great loss during England's "Great Ejection" in 1662. This prayer concentrates on believer's seeking Christ's righteousness, while also helping us to realize that putting Jesus first in our lives is far greater than anything this world has to offer. 

This prayer comes from Robert Elmer's excellent collection of Puritan prayers noted in the bibliography below. This is a great devotional work that is highly recommended to 2DaysD listeners!
