Set sin before thine eyes
Keep fresh in your remembrance some particular sin or other, when you come to prayer, it will help you in confession; it is barrenness as I told you that you do not see what matter you have to confess, that makes you so scanted in your confession; would you but present some particular sin when you come to God, you would be in a better plight to confess sin to God; this the Psalmist doth, 51. Verse 3. For I acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is ever before me. he means the sin of adultery. When David came to prayer, he would put before his eyes the sin of adultery; now set thy sin before thee. Art thou a drunkard? set thy drunkenness before thee; art thou an adulterer? set thy uncleanness before thee. Art thou an extortioner? then set thy oppression before thee. set sin before thine eyes when thou comest prayer and that is the way to feed thy spirits with confessions to God in a prayer.

About
Nothing much to tell. I’m walking a single solitary pilgrims walk, in England, that is not an easy one. I am a Calvinistic Covenanter Christian, My Autonomic Nervous system is failing slowly, which has led to severe disability, with an ultra rare disease than medics don’t even understand, often misdiagnose.and will no doubt kill me at some point. But, I trust the Lord to get me where I’m going. All glory to HIM.
The symptomology listed on the link, most porphyrics will only have most of those symptoms if in an acute attack. A few of us, with the ongoing, smouldering symptoms, that never go away, have most if not all of the symptom list, even when not in an acute attack, and are persistent and constant. Anyone who has ever been in the psychiactric system, diagnosed as this or that, even if physically well, should consider this illness could be responsible. King George III, the most famous porphyric, his sole symptom was “insanity.” Its so rare in part, because it’s massively under-diagnosed. But in making this illness known, when it struck me physically a few years ago, God vindicated me from every mis-diagnoses and bersmirchment upon me medically that has ever been made, and has made them all null and void.
