Amazed by Grace in Prayer?

Are your prayers marked by amazement at the greatness and grace of God? I confess that mine often are not, which is why I was helped and encouraged and convicted by this sermon today.

The text is from David's prayer in 1 Chron. 17:16-27. This was also John Newton's sermon text on the day (January 1, 1773) when he presented his hymn "Amazing Grace" to his congregation for the first time.
