67. Prayer

Prayer

O Lord Jesus, Thou hast been asking, “Will you follow Me whithersoever I go?” Thou hast heard what each one of us has said. The answer may cost so much, but we never can be brought into a position where we do not find Thee with us. Oh, we thank Thee for it. We thank Thee Thou dost not say “Go;” Thou dost say, “Follow me.”

Blessed Lord, we thank Thee for it. Some of us may be just a little nervous about the future. Give us grace, now, to say, “I believe the Lord Jesus Christ is faithful, that He is able to give me an abundance of grace, that He is able to make all grace abound towards me, whatever be the circumstances of my life. I believe God.” O Lord Jesus, we look into Thy face and we see the face of Him who has conquered and who is going on to conquer. Do Thou help us by Thy grace to be true to the answer we have given Thee through these days and in this closing service. For Thy name’s sake, Amen.
