“We have a God who is infinitely gracious and knows all our wants. I always thought that He would reduce you to extremity. He will come in His own time, and when you least expect it. Hope in Him more than ever; thank Him with me for the favors He does you, particularly for the fortitude and patience which He gives you in your afflictions. It is a plain mark of the care He takes of you. Comfort yourself, then, with Him, and give thanks for all.”

Brother Lawrence in The Practice of the Presence of God: The Best Rule of a Holy Life (New York: Fleming H. Revell, 1895) 27.
