Lord, Save Me

Great virtue is needed to struggle with happiness. We must learn to tread upon the world and remember to trust Christ.

And if you begin to sin, say: "Lord, I am perishing; save me," so that you may not perish. For only he can deliver you from the death of the body, he who died in the body for you. 

-- Sermon 26, 9

Prayer. Lord our God, make us blessed by you, because we shall not lose you. When we remain true to you, we shall neither lose you nor be lost ourselves.
 
-- Sermon 113, 6
