1599 Geneva Bible: “Just Kill Me!”

Numbers 11:13-15 Where should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh that we may eat. I am not able to bear all this people alone, for it is too heavy for me. Therefore if thou deal thus with me, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thy (i) sight, kill me, that I behold not my misery.

(i) I had rather die than to see my grief and misery thus daily increase by their rebellion.

I am Slipping . . . . .

I need some prayer please. I have been much on fire for God of late and it has been a sweet joy to my soul as I feel Him working in me and as I watch Him work in others close to me. But the past 5 days i can feel myself slipping. I have a lot going on right now (Boo Hoo! Who the heck doesn't, right?) and i feel like there is a boulder upon my back. my priorities are realigning in a way i never thought they would. I have failed to do a bible reading and prayer Yesterday and Today before i rushed off to work. I can feel myself on the cusp of losing my first love and joy. If i don't have help and persevere i will return back to a life of spiritual mediocrity after only a month of worship on the mountain top. I can feel sin crouching at my door about to pounce, and i seem unwilling to stop myself from walking into it's path.Please God, help me not to loose you again! Need prayer. I can feel myself slipping . . .
