Behold, Thou hast made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing in Thy sight. Surely every man stands as a mere breath! Surely man goes about as a shadow! Surely for nought are they in turmoil; man heaps up and knows not who will gather! Psalms 39:5, 6 How wonderful it […]

I said, “I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with tongue; I will bridle my mouth, so long as the wicked are in my presence.” I was dumb and silent, I held my peace to no avail; my distress grew worse, my heart became hot within me. As I mused, the fire […]

Do not forsake me, O Lord! O my God, be not far from me! Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation! Psalms 38:21, 22 Thank You Lord that You are there and You hear our cries for help. You heard David and rescued him. You hear us and You rescue us too. Thank […]

For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me, I confess my iniquity, I am sorry for my sin. Those who are my foes without cause are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully. Those who render me evil for good are my adversaries because I follow after good. […]
