I hope to pray like this:

Almighty God,

I am loved with everlasting love,

  clothed in eternal righteousness,

     my peace flowing like a river,

     my comforts many and large,

     my joy and triumph unutterable,

     my soul lively with a knowledge of salvation,

     my sense of justification unclouded.

I have scarce anything to pray for;

Jesus smiles upon my soul as a ray of heaven

  and my supplications are swallowed up in praise...
