Psalm 119:94a, “I am Yours; save me.”
Spurgeon writes in his Treasury of David on this verse:
A comprehensive prayer with a prevailing argument. Consecration is a good plea for preservation. If we are conscious that we are the Lord’s we may be confident that he will save us. We are the Lord’s by creation, election, redemption, surrender, and acceptance; and hence our firm hope and assured belief that he will save us. A man will surely save his own child: Lord, save me. The need of salvation is better seen by the Lord’s people than by any others, and hence their prayer—“save me”; they know that only God can save them, and hence they cry to him alone; and they know that no merit can be found in themselves, and hence they urge a reason fetched from the grace of God,--“I am thine.” (vol. 3, p. 317)
We belong to the Lord by grace, and we lay claim to His help by grace. Since He has already gone to the utmost expense to bring us into His favor, He won't refuse anything else that would be for our good.
Romans 8:32, "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?"
