SITTING by the bedside of one, young in years, who was passing away from this world to be with the Lord, I noticed her little hand now and then raised, as if to signal someone.
Seeing me, she murmured, “That’s a prayer; I cannot speak it, but He knows.”
The heart of this young girl was going out to the Lord; but, although unable to express her thoughts in words, the lifting of her hand told out what was going on within, and all was known to the Lord, and those who call upon Him, call not in vain. His own word is
“Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.” Ps. 1:15.
