I Pray for Guidance
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they
shall walk, and not faint. Isa. 40:31.
Friday, Feb. 14, 1896. I awake at half past two, and seek the Lord, as
is my practice, for wisdom and grace, mingling my prayers with thanksgiving
for His tender, loving compassion toward us. The words of Isaiah 40:28-31
seem appropriate and impressed upon my mind. . . .
My prayer is, Help me, O my heavenly Father, to trust wholly in Thy
wisdom and not to lean to my own understanding. Guide Thou my pen and direct
my speech that I shall not sin against Thee with voice or pen. I must have
grace. I plead, Teach me Thy truth, that I shall not err from Thy way. O my
Lord, I am weakness itself, but Thou art strength, fortitude, and courage to
Thy people if they will only diligently make Thee their trust. . . .
Sabbath, Feb. 15, 1896. The Lord is good and merciful. I want my
gratitude offering constantly ascending to God. I long to have a deeper
sense of His goodness and of His changeless love. I long daily for the
waters of life. . . . I must continually have my strength in God. My
dependence must not waver. No human agency must come between my soul and my
God. The Lord is our only hope. In Him I trust, and He will never, no never,
fail me. He hath hitherto helped me when under great discouragement. . . .
I will thank the Lord and praise His holy name. I will praise the Lord
that in Him I can trust at all times. He is the health of my countenance and
my strong tower into which I can run and be safe. He understands my
necessities and He will give me the light of His countenance that I may
reflect light upon others. I will not fail nor be discouraged. I look to
Thee, my heavenly Father, to give strength and grace. . . . I will praise
the Lord at all times and not wait for a happy flight of feeling. Then
praise the Lord, for He is good, and His mercies will attend me morning,
noon, and night. A happy flight of feeling is not evidence; His Word is my
assurance.
