Would you keep my life?

Would you keep my going out and my coming in from this time forth and forevermore?

It's that easy.

You can do that with psalm after psalm.

You could just turn around the pronouns so that it's you speaking.

And those things begin to inform your mind and you'll find that they begin to come across your lips just when you're praying extemporaneously without the scripture in front of you.

Be a praying people.

What do you do when you feel dry, as many of us often feel dry in the midst of our Christian lives?

What do you do when you don't feel like getting out of bed today and spending time with the Lord before you go about your work?

You get out of bed and you spend time with the Lord before you go about your work.

That's what you do.

You keep at it.

You just keep at it.

What do you do, though, when it just continues to kind of abide there?

There's just kind of a lukewarmness, just kind of a dryness.

You let the Lord know.

Not as if he doesn't know, but you cry out to him, Lord, would you help me?

I just feel dry.

I don't feel your nearness.

I know that you are with me.
