If God's love was sufficient for my greatest need, my eternal salvation, surely it is sufficient for my lesser needs, the adversities I encounter in this life.

Young then quotes Calvin, "In a word, the Prophet here describes to us the inconceivable carefulness with which God unceasingly watches over our salvation, that we may be fully convinced that he will never forsake us, though we may be afflicted with great and numerous calamities."

Just as we should learn to stop asking why, or searching for rational explanations, or seeking to discover what "good" there is in our own adversities, so we must also learn to quiet our hearts in regard to God's government of the universe.

We must see our circumstances through God's love instead of, as we are prone to do, seeing God's love through our circumstances.

He had only one thing to do and that was what he should think about and he must think it out clearly and take everything as it came along, and not worry. To worry was a bad as to be afraid. It simply made things more difficult.

You did not have to like it because you understood it. He could beat anything, he thought, because no thing could hurt him if he did not care

You saw fear and apprehension. The fear was made by what he had been through. The apprehension was for the possibility of evil he imagined.

To worry was as bad as to be afraid. It simply made things more difficult.

The God takes care for drunks

I've had plenty to worry about one time or other. I'm through worrying.

The great thing in prayer is to feel that we are putting our supplications into the bosom of omnipotent love.

Most people spend so much time fearing the things that are never going to happen or can't be controlled that they have no energy to deal with the few things they can actually handle.
