Nevertheless, I am continually with Thee: Thou hast holden me by my
right hand.

--PSALMS 73:23

FAITH is a grasping of Almighty power;

The hand of man laid on the arm of God;

The grand and blessed hour

In which the things, impossible to me,

Become the possible, O Lord, through Thee.

--ANNA E. HAMILTON

NOTHING is necessary for you in maintaining a triumphant Christian life,
but just to stay by the helm, and put yourself in where the power is.
Come unto God, unite yourself to God, and the doing power you have is
infinite!--and is none the less yours because it is His. Trim your ship
steadily to the course, and God's own gales will waft it.

--HORACE BUSHNELL

Gaze intently with the eye of faith at the infinite wisdom and
omnipotence of God, to whom nothing is impossible or difficult, and
consider that His goodness is unbounded, and unspeakable His willingness
to give, hour by hour, and moment by moment, all things needful for the
spiritual life, and for complete victory over self, if we will throw
ourselves with confidence into His arms.

--LORENZO SCUPOLI

Whatever God tells us to do, He also helps us to do.
