Number one, God brought me here.  It is by His will that I am in this place.  In that fact I will rest.  Number two, He will keep me here in His love and give me grace to behave as His child.  Number three, He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me the lessons He intends for me to learn and working in me the grace He means to bestow.  Number four, in His good time He can bring me out again.  How and when, He knows.  So, let me say I am here.

Andrew Murray

The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.

The moment you enter the Valley of the Shadow of Death, things change.  You discover that Christianity is not something doughy, passive, pious, and soft.  The life of belief teems with thrills, boldness, danger, shocks, reversals, triumphs, and epiphanies.

Tony Snow

I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.

Psalm 16:7

O Lord, support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done.  Then, Lord, in your mercy grant us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

John H. Newman, based on a 16th century prayer

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Ice on trees will bend many a branch to the point of breaking.  Similarly, I see a great many people bowed down and crushed by their afflictions.  Yet every now and then I meet someone who sings in affliction, and then I thank God for my own circumstance as well as his.  There is never a song more beautiful than that which is sung in the night.  You may remember the story of a woman who, when her only child died, looked toward heaven as with the face of an angel and said, “I give you joy, my sweet child.”  That solitary, simple sentence has stayed with me for many years, often energizing and comforting me.

Henry Ward Beecher

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
