Mary Wilder Tileston preaches about the importance of trusting in the
name of the Lord and staying upon God, even in times of darkness and
uncertainty. She emphasizes the power of hope and trust in God, as seen
in the unwavering faith of Isaiah, Paul Gerhardt, Robert Leighton, and

Who is among you that walketh in darkness and hath no light? let him
trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God.

ISAIAH 1:10

THE heart that yet can hope and trust,

And cry to Thee, though from the dust,

Is all unconquered still.

PAUL GERHARDT

PRESS this upon thy soul, for there is not such another charm for all
its fears and disquiet; therefore repeat it still with David, sing this
till it be stilled, and chide thy distrustful heart into believing: "Why
art thou cast down, 0 my soul, and why art thou disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him." Though I am all out of tune
for the present, never a right thing in my soul, yet He will put forth
His hand and redress all, and I shall yet once again praise, and
therefore, even now, I will hope.

ROBERT LEIGHTON

Oh, that we could breathe out new hope, and new submission, every day.
Our waters are but ebb, and come neither to our chin, nor to the
stopping of our breath. I may see (if I would borrow eyes from Christ)
dry land, and that near: why then should we not laugh at adversity, and
scorn our short-born and soon-dying temptations?

SAMUEL RUTHERFORD
