In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, we pray. Amen.
AMEN KAYAK AND AMEN ALL!
GRACE TO ALL BRETHREN!
"Forsake me not, O Lord."
- Psalm 38:21
Frequently we pray that God would not forsake us in the hour of trial and
temptation, but we too much forget that we have need to use this prayer at
all times. There is no moment of our life, however holy, in which we can
do without his constant upholding. Whether in light or in darkness, in
communion or in temptation, we alike need the prayer, "Forsake me not, O
Lord." "Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe." A little child, while
learning to walk, always needs the nurse's aid. The ship left by the pilot
drifts at once from her course. We cannot do without continued aid from
above; let it then be your prayer to-day, "Forsake me not. Father, forsake
not thy child, lest he fall by the hand of the enemy. Shepherd, forsake
not thy lamb, lest he wander from the safety of the fold. Great
Husbandman, forsake not thy plant, lest it wither and die. 'Forsake me
not, O Lord,' now; and forsake me not at any moment of my life. Forsake me
not in my joys, lest they absorb my heart. Forsake me not in my sorrows,
lest I murmur against thee. Forsake me not in the day of my repentance,
lest I lose the hope of pardon, and fall into despair; and forsake me not
in the day of my strongest faith, lest faith degenerate into presumption.
Forsake me not, for without thee I am weak, but with thee I am strong.
Forsake me not, for my path is dangerous, and full of snares, and I cannot
do without thy guidance.
The hen forsakes not her brood, do thou then evermore cover me with thy
feathers, and permit me under thy wings to find my refuge.
'Be not far from me, O Lord, for trouble is near, for there is none to
help.
' 'Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!'"
"O ever in our cleansed breast,
Bid thine Eternal Spirit rest;
And make our secret soul to be
A temple pure and worthy thee."
C.H.SPURGEON!
SOLI DEO GLORIA!
Joining you in prayer.
The memory of the righteous will be a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.
