- Psalm 12:1
The prayer itself is remarkable, for it is short, but seasonable,
sententious, and suggestive.
"Help, Lord," will suit us living and dying, suffering or labouring,
rejoicing or sorrowing.
In him our help is found, let us not be slack to cry to him.
The answer to the prayer is certain, if it be sincerely offered through
Jesus. The Lord's character assures us that he will not leave his people;
his relationship as Father and Husband guarantee us his aid; his gift of
Jesus is a pledge of every good thing; and his sure promise stands, "Fear
not, I WILL HELP THEE."
