Lord God, You Are My Sin-Restrainer
January 6 Relationship to God Bible Meditations Based on Genesis 16-18
Key Verse – Genesis 16:2 … Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me.
LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY SIN-RESTRAINER
Lord God, You are my sin-Restrainer by Your great might
Thank You for forgiving my confessed carnality’s blight
To help me against evil despisings’ insight…
Let me please You with my dealings that are right.
Lord God, You are my sin-Restrainer by Your best way
Thank You for smiting my flight from Your guiding ray
To make me submit under Your reign where I should stay…
Let me remain in Your presence all the day.
Lord God, You are my sin-Restrainer by Your peaceful appearance
Thank You for correcting my non-compliance to Your covenant’s insurance
To lead me seek You along Your gentle forbearance…
Let me cleave unto You while leaning in Your everlasting assurance.
Lord God, You are my sin-Restrainer by Your blessed fruitfulness
Thank You for crashing my doubts about Your set timeliness
To drive me trust Your promises upheld by Your faithfulness…
Let me avoid unbelief causing destructiveness.
Lord God, You are my sin-Restrainer by Your approving eyes
Thank You for smiting my pride of vain exercise
To push me rest myself in Your love and care that suffice…
Let me seek Your comfort from Your words always wise.
Lord God, You are my sin-Restrainer by Your tender mercies
Thank You disciplining my mockery, laughing at Your policies
To train me rely on Your truth, not on fallacies…
Let me rise by Your power from my impotencies.
Lord God, You are my sin-Restrainer by Your perfect justice
Thank You for chastising my unbelief You surely can notice
To move me repent from my unrighteous practice…
Let me obey You gladly while I fulfill Your entrusted duties.
