Evening Incense

"Evening Incense" by John R. (John Ross) Macduff is a collection of evening prayers from the 1800s made to be a friend for readers on their spiritual path. It leads people in thoughtful prayers about being thankful, being forgiven, staying humble, so they can know God better. The prayers want to help people think deeply and be more devoted, speaking to those who want peace and a bond with God as nighttime comes. The book starts by explaining why evening prayer is important, saying we should talk and think to God at day's end. The first prayer is about wanting forgiveness, trusting in God's kindness, and hoping to be closer to Jesus. In the beginning, the writer shows a deep hope for a change in spirit and direction, asking readers to share their feelings with God to get ready for sleep. Every prayer feels like a push towards comfort and calm, making prayer an important custom that cleans the spirit and grows thankfulness.
