Daily Morning Devotional with Bro. Raymond Mendiola


I Pray for
Guidance
SEPTEMBER 17
Manuscript 62, 1896
They that wait upon the Lord shall
renew their strength; they shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they
shall run, and not be weary; and they
shall walk, and not faint.

ISAIAH 40:31
Friday, February 14, 1896. I awake at half past
two, and seek the Lord, as is my practice, for
wisdom and grace, mingling my prayers with
thanksgiving for His tender, loving compassion
toward us. The words of Isaiah 40:28-31 seem
appropriate and impressed upon my mind....
My prayer is, Help me, O my heavenly Father, to trust
wholly in Thy wisdom and not to lean to my own
understanding. Guide Thou my pen and direct my
speech that I shall not sin against Thee with voice or
pen. I must have grace. I plead, Teach me Thy truth, that
I shall not err from Thy way. O my Lord, I am weakness
itself, but Thou art strength, fortitude, and courage to
Thy people if they will only diligently make Thee their
trust....
Sabbath, February 15, 1896. The Lord is
good and merciful. I want my gratitude
offering constantly ascending to God. I long
to have a deeper sense of His goodness and
of His changeless love. I long daily for the
waters of life....
I must continually have my strength in God.
My dependence must not waver. No human
agency must come between my soul and my
God. The Lord is our only hope. In Him I trust,
and He will never, no never, fail me. He hath
hitherto helped me when under great
discouragement....
I will thank the Lord and praise His holy name. I will
praise the Lord that in Him I can trust at all times. He
is the health of my countenance and my strong tower
into which I can run and be safe. He understands my
necessities and He will give me the light of His
countenance that I may reflect light upon others. I
will not fail nor be discouraged. I look to Thee, my
heavenly Father, to give strength and grace....
I will praise the Lord at all times and not
wait for a happy flight of feeling. Then
praise the Lord, for He is good, and His
mercies will attend me morning, noon, and
night. A happy flight of feeling is not
evidence; His Word is my assurance.
