“ A most Blessed Sermon ” One final thought . . What a comfort this verse was to me when I felt such turmoil and unrest in my soul . .
Psalm 37:23-24:
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
Thanks be to God who restores his people and restores unto them as well the “joy of their salvation.”
- Psalm 51:12

“ A most Blessed Sermon ” By way of a postscript . .
As you so often say Pastor . . "oh thou hideous monster sin, what a plague thou hast wrought within."
What a grief sin is to the soul and how it causes us doubts and fears and robs us of our peace.
This solemn and painful experience taught me aright that “ in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing”
- Romans 7:18
but taught me as well that “the joy of the LORD is my strength.”
- Nehemiah 8:10
How good our God is when we truly repent and seek his forgiveness. This too I have learned afresh.
"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy."
- Micah 7:18
Thank you Pastor Pickett for speaking once again a word in season to this weary pilgrim.
You have spoken the “truth in love”.

“ A most Blessed Sermon ” My prayer has long been that I might “grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ” How John Newton's hymn. . “I asked the Lord that I might grow” tallies with my own experience.
The temptation/trial came upon me suddenly. It was a grievous trial of my faith. It was then that I was brought to see the evil that lurks within my own heart, and was given space to repent of it. In my distress I was shown once again my own weakness and sought the strength of the Lord to uphold and sustain me. The grievous temptations which I knew caused me much unrest. I was greatly cast down. In my distress and weakness, I thought on Christ's prayer for Peter:
“I have prayed for thee that thy faith not fail” and found encouragement knowing my dear Lord and Saviour was praying for me as well. Over and over I proved his grace sufficient for me. I was also taught of the Holy Spirit that whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth and that all things do work together for good to them that love God, and to have Christ is in truth to have the one thing needful Throughout these things, the Lord has shown me many a token for good that I faint not. I have rediscovered the peace that passeth all understanding. As you say Pastor, we learn more of God's ways through our trials.
