"Deliver me, O Lord.... Keep me, O Lord... preserve me.... O God the Lord, the Strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle" (Psalm 140:1-7). "A wise man is strong.... If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small" (Proverbs 24:5,10). "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but he flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:41).
The spirit indeed is willing,
But the flesh is so very weak.
Let that true assessment be filling
Your heart as in prayer you will speak.
So pray for your own preservation
And watch in adversity's day.
The God of your strength and salvation
Will cover your head as you pray.
