Vs. 49 — Remember the word to Your servant, Upon which You have caused me to hope.

Richard Sibbes:

When we hear any promise in the word of God, let us turn it into a prayer. God’s promises are his bonds.

Prayer:

Father, great in mercy and grace, remember the word to Your servant, upon which You have caused me to hope. Your promises of eternal life; of keeping me in the Son; of holding me in Your hand in all storms and trials; and sealing me with the Spirit of Life. Upon Your promises my hope rests. I will not be moved. Blessed be the Faithful One. Jesus, Your name if Faithful.
