I am no longer anxious about anything, as I realize that He is able to carry out His will for me. It does not matter where He places me, or how. That is for Him to consider, not me, for in the easiest positions He will give me grace, and in the most difficult ones His grace is sufficient.

I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.
