Christian Herald 2 Chronicles 16:12-13 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great… I knew a man who professed to love the Lord, and who really did so. He got into great difficulties, and racked his brain all night without avail for a way out of them. In the morning he went to the squire and the rector, and racked their brains about his troubles, but to no good effect. He then came to me, and asked me to pray with him about them, and my reply was, "No, I will not; you have racked your own, the rector's, and the squire's brain, and now you wish to make Jesus only the fourth instead of first. I won't take any part in doing that." He fell on his knees with such a beseeching look for forgiveness, and prayed, "Oh, how could I forget Thee, Lord? Yet even now I come and ask guidance." It is needless to say that the Lord graciously heard and answered, and gave him a triumphant issue out of all his troubles. (Christian Herald.).
