"LORD, REMEMBER ME."

Look at the prayer of the thief. People say, "Oh, pray for salvation, and you will get it!" Yes, but bear in mind you must have faith in Christ before you can pray. He had got faith in Christ, and now he calls Him "Lord." It was the sound of a young convert's voice, "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." It was not a very long prayer, but it was a prayer red-hot, one right out of his heart. Some people tell you they cannot pray without a prayer-book. But the poor thief had no prayer-book; and if there had been any prayer-books then, there was nobody to give him one. He wanted salvation, he simply wanted to be saved, and he cried from his heart, "Lord, remember me!" and a more eloquent prayer never was heard or printed on earth. But not only that, he got more than he asked, for he only asked to be remembered. We always get more than we ask when we come to the Lord.
