The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for 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. (Rom. 8:26)
I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. (1 Cor. 14:15)
To all our prayers and praises
   Christ adds His sweet perfume,
And love the censer raises,
   These odors to consume;
Though great may be our dullness
   In thought and word and deed,
We glory in the fullness
   Of Him that meets our need.

Roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. (Ex. 12:9)
He hath made Him to be sin for us, who KNEW NO SIN. (2 Cor. 5:21)
Who DID NO SIN, neither was guile found in His mouth. (1 Peter 2:22)
Ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and IN HIM IS NO SIN. (1 John 3:5)
The holy One who knew no sin,
   God made Him sin for us;
The Savior died our souls to win,
   Upon the shameful cross;
His precious blood alone availed
   To wash our sins away;
Through weakness He o’er hell prevailed;
   Through death He won the day.

Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God. (Isa. 40:1)
Everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. I, even I, am He that comforteth you. (Isa. 51:11‑12)
As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you. (Isa. 66:13)
Oh, all that are sad, take heart again!
You are not alone in your hour of pain;
The Father stoops from His throne above
To soothe and comfort us with His love;
He leaves us not when the storm beats
   high,
And we have safety, for He is nigh;
Can it be trouble when He does share?
Oh, rest in peace, for your Lord does care!

It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, that thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. (Luke 1:3‑4)
That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. (2 Tim. 1:14)
Lord, may I ne’er be satisfied
   With this world’s second best,
When Thou hast blessings multiplied
   For those who stand the test.
Let me not deem it sacrifice
   To miss the joys of earth
To gain from Thee a higher prize
   Of everlasting worth.

Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole. (Acts 4:10)
Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Acts 2:21)
Come, weary, anxious, laden soul,
To Jesus come, and be made whole;
On Him your heavy burden roll —
Come, anxious one, now come!
God loves to hear the contrite cry;
He loves to see the tearful eye,
To read the Spirit’s deep-felt sigh —
Come, anxious one, now come!

This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. (Titus 3:8)
Thus shall ye do in the fear of the Lord, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. (2 Chron. 19:9)
These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show unto His servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly. (Rev. 22:6‑7)
Oh keep us in the narrow way,
That ne’er from Thee our footsteps stray;
Sustain our weakness, calm our fear,
And to Thy presence keep us near.
Oh be it thus till that blest day,
When God shall wipe all tears away;
Quickly, ’tis promised in the Word,
E’en so, Amen; come quickly, Lord.

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. (Phil. 4:11)
Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. (1 Tim. 6:6‑7)
According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness. (2 Peter 1:3)
God knoweth the need of my life
   For shelter and raiment and food;
In each trifling care of the day
   The word of His promise is good;
He knoweth my thought from afar,
   The wish that I never have told,
And every unspoken desire
   His wisdom does grant or withhold.

If thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise … from another place. (Esther 4:14)
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men. (1 Tim. 2:1)
Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. (Gal. 6:2)
Make me an intercessor,
   Till pleading at Thy throne,
The sins and griefs of other lives
   Become as my very own.
Make me an intercessor,
   Sharing Thy death and life,
Claiming in prayer for others
   A victory in the strife.

Now is My soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. (John 12:27)
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Heb. 12:2)
Our sins were laid on Thee;
   God’s wrath Thou hast endured;
It was for us Thou sufferedst thus,
   And hast our peace secured.
On high Thou hast ascended
   To God’s right hand in heaven,
The Lamb once slain, alive again —
   To Thee all power is given.

If they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. (Eccl. 4:10)
What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit … will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? How much then is a man better than a sheep? (Matt. 12:11‑12)
I will extol Thee, O Lord; for Thou hast lifted me up. (Psa. 30:1)
A lonely track perchance, a darkened sky,
A mist of tears, and only God knows why —
Is He not worth our trust the voyage through,
He who has never failed us — hitherto?
And so it shall be to the very end —
Through ebb or flow, the one unchanging
   friend,
Ruling the waves which sink at His command,
Holding them in the hollow of His hand.

The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that hope in His mercy. (Psa. 147:11)
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. (Jer. 17:7‑8)
In the desert still, yet by the river
Bearing heavenly fruit, a healing tree;
In the Spirit and in truth adoring
Him whom none but eyes anointed see —
Marvels of God’s secret place made known
Unto him who dwells with God alone.

The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: He bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and He hath set the world upon them. (1 Sam. 2:7‑8)
Yet setteth He the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving-kindness of the Lord. (Psa. 107:41,43)
And did the holy and the just,
   The sovereign of the skies,
Stoop down to man’s estate and dust
   That guilty worms might rise?
Jesus, my soul adoring bends
   To love, so full, so free;
Thy Word declares that love extends,
   In saving power, to me.

Behold, one like the Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven … and there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. (Dan. 7:13‑14)
He [Jesus] shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end. (Luke 1:33)
Yea, Amen, let all adore Thee,
   High on Thine exalted throne:
Savior, take the power and glory;
   Claim the kingdoms for Thine own:
      Come, Lord Jesus!
   Hallelujah! Come, Lord, come!

We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Eph. 6:12)
We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. (1 John 2:1)
Our times are in Thy hand,
   Whatever they may be,
Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
   As best may seem to Thee.
Our times are in Thy hand,
   Jesus the advocate!
Nor can that hand be stretched in vain,
   For us to supplicate.

They that feared the Lord spake often one to another; and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon His name. (Mal. 3:16)
Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; show forth from day to day His salvation. For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: He also is to be feared above all gods. (1 Chron. 16:23,25)
O Lord, Thy love’s unbounded,
   So sweet, so full, so free —
My soul is all transported,
   Whene’er I think on Thee!
And thus Thy deep perfections
   Much better should I know,
And with adoring fervor
   In this Thy nature grow.

It was not an enemy that reproached Me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated Me that did magnify himself against Me; then I would have hid Myself from him: but it was thou, a man Mine equal, My guide, and Mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. (Psa. 55:12‑14)
Behold, the hand of him that betrayeth Me is with Me on the table. (Luke 22:21)
He that dippeth his hand with Me in the dish, the same shall betray Me. (Matt. 26:23)
No man of greater love can boast
   Than for his friend to die;
Thou for Thine enemies wast slain!
   What love with Thine can vie?

And EVERLASTING might!

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. (Psa. 34:13)
He that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. (1 Peter 3:10‑11)
’Tis just the secret little talk
   With Jesus by the way
That keeps you loving, true to Him
   In all you do and say.
’Tis the little word you’re led to say
   Which touched that other life,
And gave it nerve and strength again
   To conquer in the strife.

These are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the SON OF GOD; and that believing ye might have life through His name. (John 20:31)
Love brings the glorious fullness in,
   And to the lost makes known
Salvation from the power of sin,
   Through faith in Christ alone.
E’en now by faith I claim Him mine,
   The risen Son of God;
Redemption by His death I find,
   And cleansing through the blood.

Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; Thou shalt make me full of joy with Thy countenance. (Acts 2:28)
Ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (Jude 20‑21)
If earthly fellowships are sweet,
What will it be around His feet,
When finally we reach that shore
Where pain and heartaches are no more?
The brightness of His blessed face
Will illumine that glorious place;
And all earth’s shadows take their flight
Before that blest, eternal light.

I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. I will feed My flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God. (Ezek. 34:14‑15)
He commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. And they did all eat, and were filled. (Mark 6:39,42)
Feed our souls in silence deep;
   Grant us from ourselves to pass;
Lead, Good Shepherd, us Thy sheep
   To the fields of tender grass,
Where Thy words are in the air
   And Thy flowers the hedges dress;
Cause for us to flow forth there
   Waters of Thy quietness.

If two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven. (Matt. 18:19)
Whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (John 14:13)
If any man will do His will, he shall know. (John 7:17)
’Tis prayer supports the soul that’s weak;
   Though thought be broken, language
      lame,
Pray, if you can or cannot speak;
   But pray with faith in Jesus’ name.
Depend on Him; you cannot fail;
   Make all your wants and wishes known;
Fear not; His merits must prevail:
   Ask but in faith; it shall be done.

He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. (John 8:7)
Then took they up stones to cast at Him: but Jesus hid Himself. (John 8:59)
Likewise also the chief priests mocking Him, with the scribes and elders, said, He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He be the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him. (Matt. 27:41‑42)
Himself He could not save,
   For justice must be done;
Our sin’s full weight must fall
   Upon the sinless One;
For nothing less can God accept
In payment of that fearful debt.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou wilt revive me. … Thy right hand shall save me. (Psa. 138:7)
I do not know what may befall,
   Of sunshine or of rain;
I do not know what may be mine,
   Of pleasure and of pain;
But this I know — my Savior knows
   The path I cannot see;
And I can trust His wounded hand
   To guide and care for me.

Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, and He shall exalt thee. (Psa. 37:34)
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. (Psa. 37:37)
The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever. (Psa. 37:18)
I know not why my pathway leads
   Through valleys rough and steep,
But this I know, while walking there
   I’ve found communion sweet;
Though all I loved be swept away,
   His voice would still be heard
Above the storm, and as I lift
   My tear-filled eyes to Him,
The great Creator, Lord of all,
   He whispers, “Peace,” within.

They were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten Me. (Hos. 13:6)
Thou hast destroyed thyself; but in Me is thine help. (Hos. 13:9)
Neither will we say anymore to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in Thee the fatherless findeth mercy. (Hos. 14:3)
Let one in his innocence glory,
Another in works he has done;
Thy blood is my claim and my title;
Beside it, O Lord, I have none;
The scorned, the despised, the rejected,
Thou hast come to this heart of mine;
In Thy robes of eternal glory,
Thou hast welcomed me into Thine.

Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath: that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us. (Heb. 6:17‑18)
Whom have I in heaven but Thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides Thee. (Psa. 73:25)
Be Thou the object bright and fair
To fill and satisfy the heart;
My hope to meet Thee in the air,
And nevermore from Thee to part:
That I may undistracted be
To follow, serve and wait for Thee.

Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And He said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake. (Gen. 18:32)
Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city. (Eccl. 7:19)
Wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. (Prov. 8:11)
Poor and feeble though we be,
   Savior, we belong to Thee!
Thine we are, Thou Son of God,
   Thine, the purchase of Thy blood.
Boundless wisdom, power divine,
   Love unspeakable, are Thine;
Praise by all to Thee be given,
   Son of God, and heir of heaven!
