Do not forsake me, O Lord!

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, "Do not forsake me, O Lord!"

A little child, while learning to walk always needs the parent's aid.

The ship left by the pilot drifts at once from her course.

Just so...we cannot survive without continuous aid from God.

Let it be your prayer today, "Do not forsake me, O Lord!

Father, do not forsake Your child lest he fall by the hand of the enemy.
 

Shepherd, do not forsake Your lamb lest he wander from the safety of the fold.
 

Great Gardener, do not forsake Your plant lest it wither and die!

Do not forsake me now, O Lord!

And do not forsake me at any moment of my life.

Do not forsake me in my joys lest they absorb my heart.

Do not forsake me, not in my sorrows lest I murmur against You.

Do not forsake me for my path is dangerous, and full of snares and I cannot travel without Your guidance.

Do not forsake me for without You I am weak...but with You I am strong.

Do not be far from me, O Lord, for trouble is near and there is none to help.

Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!

Psa 119:117  Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. 

~Charles Spurgeon~
