“Some people think God does not like to be troubled with our constant coming and asking. The way to trouble God is not to come at all.”

“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”

“Because it's trouble, and it's in our road. We'll get there in time. No need to live in trouble until trouble comes.”

“God arranges everything for us, so that we need have no more fear or trouble and may be quite sure that all things will come right in the end.”

“It is not easy to be at peace in today’s troubled world. Necessarily peace is a personal acquisition. … It can be attained only through maintaining constantly a repentant attitude, seeking forgiveness of sins both large and small, and thus coming ever closer to God.”

“To climb ever closer to God is not to move away from our troubled and troubling neighbors, but closer to them.”
