18. Draw nigh unto my soul. The near approach of God
is all the sufferer needs. And redeem it. It will be redemption to me if
thou wilt appear to comfort me. This is a deeply spiritual prayer, and one very
suitable for a deserted soul. It is in renewed communion that we shall find
redemption realized. Deliver me because of mine enemies, lest they should,
in their vaunting, blaspheme thy name, and boast that thou art not able to
rescue those who put their trust in thee. Jesus, in condescending to use such
supplications, fulfills the request of his disciples: “Lord, teach us to pray.”
