"They waited not for His counsel, but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. And He gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul" (Psalm 106:13-15).
Lord, teach us to loathe this condition of leanness
That enters our soul when we trust our own heart.
And give us the healing that comes with the cleanness
Of your holy fear that Your Word will impart.
Wretched condition, this leanness of soul,
With wandering eyes, so full of distraction!
Oh how much better when we give control
To God who alone can give satisfaction!
