Psalms 119:28. My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
Are any of you, dear friends, in that condition? Do your hearts melt within you? It is a sore trouble, as I know full well. "The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity;" but when his very soul melts for heaviness, what is he to do then? Why, even then he may pray; nay, then he must pray; and this may be the burden of his prayer, "Strengthen thou me according unto thy word." Notice, beloved, how the psalmist keeps harping upon that string,-" according unto thy word." If your prayer is according to God’s Word, you may expect a comfortable answer sooner or later. We know that God will not act contrary to his Word. He who is not a man of his word is despised; and if there could be one who was not a God of his Word, what would be said of him? But, my tried friend, he will make his Word true to you to the very letter; therefore still cry to him, "Strengthen thou me according unto thy word."
