Help, Lord.
Psalm 12:1
"THE prayer itself is remarkable, for it is short,
but seasonable,
sententious,
and suggestive.
David mourned the fewness of faithful men, and therefore lifted up his
heart in supplication—when the creature failed, he flew to the Creator.
---There is much of directness, clearness of perception, and distinctness of utterance
in this petition of two words; much more, indeed, than in the long
rambling outpourings of certain professors.
---The Psalmist runs
straight-forward to his God, ...Lord, teach us to pray in the
same blessed manner."
Charles Spurgeon
