Be not far from me; for trouble is near. —Psa. 22:11.
How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? —Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. —The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. —Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. —Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. —My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

Please, No Leanness!
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!
