This is a prayer in Robert Leighton’s commentary on 1 Peter. This is what I would call a real sinners prayer.
“Lord, I am justly under the sentence of death. If I fall under it, you are righteous, and I do know acknowledge this. But if it seems good to you to save the vilest, most wretched of sinners, and to show great mercy in pardoning such a great debt, the higher will be the glory of that mercy. However, I am resolved to wait until either you graciously receive me or absolutely reject me. If you do the latter, I do not have a word to say against it; but because you are gracious, I hope that you will yet have mercy on me.”
