On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

He tells us what his prayer was; it was short, but to the purpose: " O Lord! I beseech thee, deliver my soul; save me from death, and save me from sin, for that is it that is killing to the soul." Both the humility and the fervency of his prayer are intimated in these words, O Lord! When we come to the throne of grace we must come as beggars for an alms, for necessary food.
