“Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established” (Proverbs 16:3). By works he means not only every enterprise and business we undertake, but every puzzling, intricate and doubtful event we fear. These being once committed by an act of faith, and our wills resigned to His, besides the comfort we shall have in the issue, we shall have the present advantage of a well-composed and peaceful spirit.

Dear Friend,
God loves you, therefore seek Him diligently;
Pray to Him earnestly. Read His Word constantly.
Jesus is the Comfort.

It is wonderful what God can do with a broken heart, if He gets all the pieces.
– Samuel Chadwick –
The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven’t yet come to the end of themselves. We’re still trying to give orders, and interfering with God’s work within us.
– AW Tozer –
God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.

His will is my hiding place.
