“Peace has in it trust in the Lord, that He governs all things, provides all things, and leads to a good end.”

“My trust is in the mercy and wisdom of a kind Providence, who ordereth all things for our good.”

“Well and good if all things change, O Lord God, provided I am rooted in You.”

“A providence is shaping our ends; a plan is developing in our lives; a supremely wise and loving Being is making all things work together for good. In the sequel of our life's story, we shall see that there was a meaning and necessity in all the previous incidents, except those that were the result of our own folly and sin, and that even these have been made to contribute to the final result. Trust Him, child of God: He is leading you by a right way to the celestial city of habitation; and as from the terrace of eternity you review the path by which you came from the morning-land of childhood, you will confess that He has done all things well.”

“Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but in the heart prepared to wait trustfully and quietly on Him who has all things safely in His hands.”

“He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God's providence to lead him aright”
