"The Lord's voice sooths our troubled nerves. When doubts trouble our heart, calmly remember that he has promised us a mansion. These mansions are already prepared and waiting for us in Heaven, so take comfort in his loving promise. He will work everything out in our lives, as we patiently trust in him. Believe him when he says he is with us always. His presence is our comfort in all our tribulations, in the most trying of times. Look at Job as an example of suffering and of patience. We do not always know the ways of the Lord, but we know that he is for us and he doesn't switch sides. He is always on our side, so trust, love, and praise him. For everything we suffer and for all we must endure, we will receive a great reward. He will make it up to us. He suffered and we shall suffer, too. He endured and was richly rewarded, and we shall be richly rewarded, too. What good is it to gain the whole world and lose our own soul? By following him, taking up the cross, and losing our life, we shall save our soul.
He is among us, watching, seeing, listening, waiting to perform great and marvelous deeds. We shall see his salvation. We are protected by his mighty hand, underneath his shadow, abiding in the cleft of the rock. We dwell in peace and are at rest there. He is our defense on all sides, leading and guarding us. He is a wall of fire round about us. Our sword will not help us. Flesh is a weak and dangerous support. Leaning on him, we shall have perfect peace. We have a high regard for the Lord. We reverence his power and have no fear of man. Who will harm us, if we follow him and walk in his paths? We are the apple of his eye, his chosen, his beloved, and he knows us by name. We rejoice in his love and his salvation, and fear nothing but the Lord our Maker, the Creator of time, the God of all that is.
We magnify him and his word. We find rest, believing in what is written. We trust in his wisdom and not in our own wisdom. We trust, and are comforted by his strength. We walk in his ways and he guides us continually. We love him, because we know he will do all he has promised to do. We love souls, for he loved us first. The dying find life in his word. The world needs his word. We seek to be a help. We are his sheep, and we will feed the sheep. We will feed the flock. We give, and to us is given in good measure, shaken together, and running over. We will always look to Jesus, for our help and trust is in him, and never shall we be afraid."
