5. As if he had said, “How is it
that I am now left without succor in my overwhelming griefs, while all others
have been helped?” We may remind the Lord of
his former lovingkindnesses to his people, and beseech him to be still the
same. This is true wrestling; let us learn the art. Observe that ancient saints
cried and trusted, and that in times of trouble we must do the
same; and the invariable result was that they were not ashamed of their hope,
for deliverance came in due time; this same happy portion will be ours. The
prayer of faith can do the deed when nothing else can. Let us wonder when we
see Jesus using the same pleas as ourselves, and immersed in grief far deeper
than our own.
