Romans 4:18,20-21 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

“We shall never forget a remark that George Mueller once made to a gentleman who had asked him the best way to have strong faith.
‘The only way,’ replied the patriarch of faith, ‘to learn strong faith is to endure great trials. I have learned my faith by standing firm amid severe testings.’ This is very true. The time to trust is when all else fails.
Dear one, you scarcely realize the value of your present opportunity; if you are passing through great afflictions you are in the very soul of the strongest faith, and if you will only let go, He will teach you in these hours the mightiest hold upon His throne which you can ever know.
‘Be not afraid, only believe.’ And if you are afraid, just look up and say, ‘What time I am afraid I will trust in Thee,’ and you will yet thank God for the school of sorrow which was to you the school of faith.” Streams in the Desert

Take heart, O weary, burdens one, Bowed down beneath thy cross; Remember that thy greatest gain May come through greatest loss.
Thy life is nobler for a sacrifice, And more divine. Acres of bloom are crushed to Make a drop of perfume fine.
Because if storms that lash The ocean waves, the waters there Keep purer than if the heavens O’erhead were always fair. The brightest banner of the skies Floats not at noonday warm; The rainbow traileth after thunder-clouds, And after storm.

Isaiah 28:12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

“Why dost thou worry thyself? What can thy freeing serve? Thou art on board a vessel which thou couldst not steer even if the great Captain put thee at the helm, of which thou couldst not so much as reef a sail, yet thou worriest as if thou wert captain and helmsman. Oh, be quiet; God is Master!

Dost thou think that all this din and hurly-burly that is abroad betokens that God has left His throne?
No, man, His coursers rush furiously on, and His chariot is the storm; but there is a bit between their jaws, and He holds the reins, and guides them as He wills! Jehovah is Master yet; believe it; peace be unto thee! Be not afraid.”
C. H. Spurgeon

Tonight, my soul, be still and sleep; The storms are raging on God’s deep — God’s deep, not thine; be still and sleep.

Tonight, my soul, be still and sleep; God’s hand shall still the temper’s sweep — God’s hands, not thine; be still and sleep.
Tonight, my soul, be still and sleep; God’s love is strong while night hours creep — God’s love, not time; be still and sleep.
Tonight, my soul, be still and sleep; God’s heaven will comfort those who weep — God’s heaven, not thine; be still and sleep.

1 Chronicles 28:20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

“When God commissions us to do something, He always gives us what we need to succeed. Even is the odds seem stacked against us, there is much going on that we cannot see. In certain times, we can only trust the Lord’s goodness to see us through.
In any task, worth diligently as unto the Lord, for it is He whom we serve. He equips us with strength and courage, helps us to stand resolute in the face of fear, and will never leave our side. What we start, He will help us finish. He does not forsake us to fight alone. Take hold of His power and trust that God is with us.” Selected

Psalm 62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

“Rather than amassing wealth in an attempt to gain security, we are to hope in the Lord. Relationships will not protect us when the end of all things comes. There is no ability that we possess that can save us from the conniving of the devil. Only those whose hope is rooted in God will be preserved.
We wait patiently for Good because His saving grace is assured. We do not cry or as those who have no hope because the truth has been given to us. Although we are afflicted, this is not the end. We are not frantic; we are confident and calm. Everything in us can rest in the promises of God as we quietly wait for His perfect timing.” Selected

Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

“When troubling circumstances befall us, we cannot give in to despondency. Or hope must be in the Lord in the good times as well as the bad. Although scenarios change, God’s faithfulness remains constant. Knowing that He loves us and will never leave us should empower us with the strength and courage to endure.
Christians are not exempt from the world’s difficulties. In fact, we may encounter more of them since we follow the system of a different kingdom. Unlike those who rely on themselves, we have guaranteed help from the Almighty who strengthens us and makes us brave.” Selected

Genesis 21:2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

“The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of a God great to all generations” (Psalm 33:11). But wet must be prepared to wait God’s time. God has His set times. It is not for us to know them; indeed, we cannot know them; we must wait for them.
If God had told Abraham in Haran that he must wait for thirty years until he pressed the promised child to his bosom, his heart would have failed him. So, in gracious love, the length of the weary years was hidden, and only as they were nearly spent, and there were only a few more months to wait, God told him that ‘according to the time of life, Sarah would have a son’ (Genesis 18:14).

The set time came at last; and then the laughter that filled the patriarchs home made the aged pair forget the long and weary vigil.

Take heart, waiting one, thou waitest for One who cannot disappoint thee; and who will not be five minutes begging the appointed moment: ere long your sorrows shall be turned into joy.” Streams in the Desert

Some glorious morning — but when? Ah, who shall say?
The steepest mountain will become a plain,
And the parched land shall be satisfied with rain.
The gates of brass all broken; iron bars,
Transfigured, form a ladder to the stars.
Rough places plain, and crooked ways all straight,
For him who with a patient heart can wait.
These things shall be on God’s appointed day:
It may not be tomorrow — yet it may.

Psalm 107:27-28 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

“Are you standing at ‘Wit’s End Corner,’ Christian, with troubled brow? Are you thinking of what is before you, And all you are breathing now? Does all the world seem against you, Are you in the battle alone? Remember — at ‘Wit’s End Corner’ Is just where God’s power is shown.

Are you standing at ‘Wit’s End Corner,’ Blinded with wearying pain, Feeling you cannot endure it, You cannot bear the strain, Bruised through the constant suffering, Dizzy, and dazed, and numb? Remember — at ‘Wit’s End Corner’ Is where Jesus loves to come.

Are you standing at ‘Wit’s End Corner’? You work before you spread, All lying begun, unfinished, And pressing on heart and head, Longing for strength to do it, Stretching out trembling hands? Remember — at ‘Wit’s End Corner’ The Burden-bearer stands.

Are you standing at ‘Wit’s End Corner’? Then you’re just in the very spot To learn the wondrous resources Of Him who faileth not: No doubt to a brighter pathway Out footsteps will soon be moved, But only at ‘Wit’s End Corner’ Is the ‘God who is able’ proved.”

Genesis 24:15a, 27 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, … And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.

“Every right prayer is answered before the prayer itself is finished — before we have ‘done speaking.’ This is because God has pledged His Word to us that whatsoever we ask in Christ’s name (that is, in oneness with Christ and His will) and in faith, shall be done.
As God’s Word cannot fail, whenever we meet those simple conditions in prayer, the answer to our prayer has been granted and completed in heaven as we pray even though its showing forth on earth may not occur until long afterward.
So, it is will to close every prayer with praise to God for the answer that He has already granted: He who never forsakes His lovingkindness and His truth. (See Daniel 9:20-27; 10:12).”

Psalm 62:2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

“Any promise of security outside of God is like sifting sand. If we are finding safety in success, wealth, popularity, or our own abilities, the sands could shift at any moment and it will all cave in.
God alone is the Rock on which we can build with a guarantee of protection. He is like a strong fortress where we can run in times of trouble. Our enemies cannot pursue us past the reach of God. Although we may be attacked, we cannot be shaken if we are resting in the Lord and building upon the Rock of our salvation.” Selected
“Lord, You are my firm Foundation. You are the immovable Rock I choose to fasten my faith to. Thank You for Your unwavering love and Your impenetrable protection. Hold me, Lord, so I well not be shaken when I am attacked. You are the Fortress I run to.” Selected

“You are my Fortress; You are my hiding place. In time of trouble, I run to the Rock and seek Your face. Though others fail me, My dearest Friend is always true. You are my Fortress; I hide in You.”
