Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Psalms 27:2. Teach me thy way O Lord, I will walk in thy truth; unite my heart to fear thy name. Psalms 86:11. Divine answer. Good and upright is the Lord, therefore will he teach sinners in the way. What man is he that fears the Lord! Him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. Psalms 25:8-12.
O Lord, be pleased to fulfil this gracious promise in me also. Thou knowest that I have nothing so much at heart, as to do thy will, and yet I am very often lost in darkness. I trust thou wilt do it. Here it is written; it is thy own word; I depend upon it: thou hast many times accomplished the same already; and art willing and able to do it evermore, for thy own names sake, and for my enemies’ sake. Thou being the God of my covenant, I keep close to thy words, which can never pass away, but all are yea and amen in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
I lift my soul to God,
My trust is in his name;
Let not my foes that seek my blood
Still triumph in my shame.
Sin and the powers of hell,
Persuade me to despair;
Lord, let me know thy covenant well,
That I may escape the snare.
The Lord is just and kind,
The meek shall learn his ways:
And every humble sinner find
The methods of his grace.
