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.”
