Psalm 38:21-22
Do not forsake me, O Lord! O my God, be not far from me! Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
"We frequently pray that God will not forsake us in our hours of trials and tests. We need, however, to use this prayer all the time. There is not a moment in our life that we can do without His constant upholding. ... Do not forsake me in my joys, lest they fully engage my heart. Do not forsake me in my sorrow, lest I murmur against You. Do not forsake me during repentance, lest I lose the hope of pardon and fall into despair. Do not forsake me in the days of my strongest faith, lest my faith degenerate into presumption."
-C. H. Spurgeon, Beside Still Waters
