In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not
fear what flesh can do unto me.

PSALMS 56:4

DO not fear circumstances. They cannot hurt us, if we hold fast by God
and use them as the voices and ministries of His will. Trust Him about
every one and everything, for all times and all needs, earth and heaven,
friends and children, the conquest of sin, the growth of holiness, the
cross that chafes, the grace that stirs.

ANTHONY W. THOROLD

I find that it is not the circumstances in which we are placed, but the
spirit in which we meet them, that constitutes our comfort; and that
this may be undisturbed, if we seek for and cherish a feeling of quiet
submission, whatever may be the privations allotted us.

ELIZABETH T. KING

Wheresoever God may lead you, there you will find Himself, in the most
harassing business, as in the most tranquil prayer.
