Finding Peace of Mind in an Age of Anxiety
Behold, we count them happy which endure.
JAMES 5, verse 11.
If ye endure chastening,
God dealeth with you as with sons.
HEBREWS 12, verse 7.
Trials must and will befall;
But with humble faith to see
Love inscribed upon them all,
This is happiness to me.
W. COWPER.
Be not afraid of those trials which God may see
fit to send upon thee. It is with the wind and
storm of tribulation that God separates the true
wheat from the chaff. Always remember, therefore,
that God comes to thee in thy sorrows, as really
as in thy joys. He lays low, and He builds up.
Thou wilt find thyself far from perfection, if thou
dost not find God in everything.
Michael De Molinos.
God hath provided a sweet and quiet life for His
children, could they improve and use it; a calm and
firm conviction in all the storms and troubles
that are about them, however things go, to find
content, and be careful for nothing.
R. Leighton.
