"Remember the word unto Thy servant, upon which Thou hast caused me to hope." — Psalm 119:49 · KJV

Whatever your particular need may be, you can readily find some promise in the Bible that fits it. Are you faint and feeble because the road is rough and you are tired? Here is the promise: "He giveth power to the faint." When you read a promise like that, carry it back to the great Promiser and ask Him to fulfill His own word. Are you searching for Christ, thirsty for closer fellowship with Him? Then this promise shines on you like a star: "Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled." Bring that promise to the throne again and again; plead nothing else, but come to God over and over with this one thing: Lord, You have said it, now do as You have said. Are you distressed over sin and weighed down by the load of your wrongdoing? Then listen to these words: "I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions, and will no more remember thy sins." You have no merit of your own to offer as a reason why He should pardon you, but plead His written commitments and He will keep them. Are you afraid you may not be able to hold on to the end, that after thinking yourself a child of God you might prove to be nothing of the kind? If that is where you are, take this word of grace to the throne and plead it: "The mountains may depart, and the hills may be removed, but the covenant of My love shall not depart from thee." And if you have lost the sweet sense of the Savior's presence and are seeking Him with a heavy heart, remember the promises: "Return unto Me, and I will return unto you;" and, "For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee." Let your faith feast on God's own word, and whatever your fears or needs may be, go to the bank of faith with your Father's signed note in your hand, saying, "Remember the word unto Thy servant, upon which Thou hast caused me to hope."
