I myself was losing heart each day;
Then the Lord brought some saints my own way;
I alone could not Thee apprehend
But with all the saints You now my joy have been.
How precious are the saints? Indeed the excellent! (Psalm 16:3).
United States
I so appreciated hearing verse 2 after my experiences the last several days. I want the Lord. I need the Lord. so I come to the Bible to contact him, to hear him and yet when I open the Bible I have no strength to pray, nothing to give. But somehow at some point today, the Lord met me, comforted me, attracted me, and took care of me.
