Thy will be done.

O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. —Not as I will, but as thou wilt. —Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

We know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Ye know not what ye ask. —He gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. —These things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

I would have you without carefulness. —Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

So much in there to describe me:

  • Not in me to direct my steps
  • Not know what or how to pray for
  • Not know what I’m asking for

And so many other things I want to be descriptive of me there!

Eben-ezer … Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.

I was brought low, and he helped me. — Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. — Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God. — He led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. — There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord hath spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. — Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

Sometimes, I feel like arguing. What’s with that?

Other times, I doubt. How in the world dare I?!

And on other occasions, oh…never mind.
