Be this as it may I ought to commit my way unto the Lord and trust in him Psalm xxxvii 5. Instead of that I have been anxiously concerned about tomorrow so that I am now filled with distress and unbecoming fears. O Lord help me to look unto thee and to trust in thy mercy. Thou didst give me my being, I hope thou hast made me a partaker of thy grace and therefore thou canst not but care for thy feeble dust the few days he has to remain in this vale of tears. O Lord. give me faith to depend on thy unchangeable promise Hebrews xiii 5 Let your conversation be without covetousness and be content with such things as you have for he hath said I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.
