Great God, In public and private in sanctuary and home,
may my life be steeped in prayer,
filled with the spirit of grace and supplication,
each prayer perfumed with the incense of atoning blood.
Help me, defend me, until from praying ground I pass to the realm of unceasing praise.
Urged by my need,
invited by thy promises,
called by thy Spirit,
I enter thy presence,
worshipping thee with godly fear,
awed by thy majesty, greatness, glory,
but encouraged by thy love.
In context
ground is apparently used in the sense of "a basic metaphysical condition or realm" (Merriam Webster) that Christians find themselves in, specifically where supplicatory prayer is still a necessity, prior to entering sinless glory.
