Where Faith Begins, Anxiety Ends;

God Delights To Increase The Faith Of His Children. We Ought, Instead Of Wanting No Trials Before Victory, No Exercise For Patience, To Be Willing To Take Them From God's Hands As A Means. Trials, Obstacles, Difficulties And Sometimes Defeats, Are The Very Food Of Faith.

God Is Pleased Continually To Vary His Mode Of Dealing With Us, In Order That We May Not Be Tempted To Trust In Donors, Or In Circumstances, But In Him Alone, And To Keep Our Eye Fixed Upon Him.

The More I Am In A Position To Be Tried In Faith With Reference To My Body, My Family, My Service For The Lord, My Business, Etc., The More Shall I Have Opportunity Of Seeing God's Help And Deliverance; And Every Fresh Instance, In Which He Helps And Delivers Me, Will Tend Towards The Increase Of My Faith.

As A Warning To Parents, I Mention That My Father Preferred Me To My Brother, Which Was Very Injurious To Both Of Us. To Me, As Tending To Produce In My Mind A Feeling Of Self-elevation; And To My Brother, By Creating In Him A Dislike Both Towards My Father And Me.

I Believe God Has Heard My Prayers. He Will Make It Manifest In His Own Good Time That He Has Heard Me. I Have Recorded My Petitions That When God Has Answered Them, His Name Will Be Glorified.
