DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the essence of faith through the story of an
elderly woman who succinctly defines it as believing that God has
already accomplished what we ask of Him. He warns against the tendency
to doubt and interfere after praying, suggesting that true faith means
to commit our ways to the Lord and trust in His ability to fulfill His
promises. Simpson encourages believers to relinquish control and allow
God to complete His work in their lives, affirming that faith is about
resting in God's assurance and letting go of our struggles.

Rarely have I heard a better definition of faith than one given by a
dear old woman, as she answered the question of a young man on how to
take the Lord for needed help. In her characteristic way, pointing her
finger toward him, she said with great emphasis, "You've just got to
believe that He's done it, and it's done." The great danger with most of
us is that after we ask God to do something, we do not believe it is
done. Instead we keep on helping Him and getting others to help Him-
superintending God. Faith adds its amen to God's yea, and then takes its
hands Off, and lets God finish His work. Its language is, Commit thy way
unto the Lord; trust also in Him. And God worketh. Lord, I give up the
struggle, To Thee commit my way, I trust Thy Word forever, And settle it
all today.
