"Remember me with favour, O my God!" Nehemiah 13:31

It is a common thing for our earthly friends to forget us, especially in seasons of trouble, or in circumstances of poverty. But even if they remembered us—they could do but little for us. When creatures forget, or slight us—let us turn from them to the Lord. He says, "You shall not be forgotten by Me." 

Remember my needs, and supply them—for they are many and pressing. 

Remember my fears, and disperse them—for they are numerous and distressing. 

Remember my foes, and subdue them—for they are fierce and united. 

Remember my difficulties, and deliver me out of them—for they fill me with shame and dismay. 

Remember my weakness, and strengthen me—for I desire to do your will. 

Remember my doubts, and remove them—and give me a steady faith in your Word, and a sweet assurance of your love. 

"Remember me with favour, O my God"—
as a little child—that incessantly needs a parent's care;
as a wandering pilgrim—that needs a guide;
as a soldier—that requires courage and supplies.

Let us pray with the man of God, "Remember me with favour, O my God!"
