"Hold me up—',

"Hold me up—and I shall be safe!" Psalm 119:117

This should be the Christian's daily prayer! 

His way is rough, 
the dangers are many, 
his foes are powerful, 
and he is liable to fall. 

This heart-felt prayer, proves that we have . . . 
a sense of our own weakness;
a knowledge of the Lord as our strength;
genuine humility working within;
and a desire to honour God ruling in the conscience. 

We are in a hostile world, and unless the Lord holds us up—we shall bring . . .
guilt on the conscience,
disgrace on the gospel,
and dishonour to God. 

O believer, lean not on earthly creatures; trust not in a friend; place no dependence on your abilities! But let your daily, yes, hourly prayer be, "Hold me up—and I shall be safe!" 

The ear of your God is open, 
the heart of your God is tender, 
the arm of your God is strong!
