I can in all states cast my care upon God, cast my burden upon God, I can commit my way to God in peace: faith can do this. Therefore, when reason can go no higher, let faith get on the shoulders of reason and say, ‘I see land though reason cannot see it, I see good that will come out of all this evil.’ Exercise faith by often resigning yourself to God, by giving yourself up to God and his ways. The more you in a believing way surrender up yourself to God, the more quiet and peace you will have.

Thank you for sharing this. Right now I’m in the middle of yucky morning sickness, trying to care for three toddlers and facing other personal challenges. Thank you for the reminder to keep perspective!
Did everyone see the Dave Ramsey simulcast last night? He spoke much about faith in troubled economic times. This excerpt reminded me of that. If you missed it, and are concerned about the economy, I understand it will be re-broadcast on Fox Business cable channels several times over the weekend. See the Town Hall for Hope website for more info.
