It is a gross conceit for men to think, Alas my case is hard, I have no friends, no money, no ability to labour in my vocation, &c. But have you the spirit of prayer? If you have, you are in an happy estate: for if we would consider of things aright, who is in hard case, but he that hath an hard heart? And who is in good case, but he that hath a good conscience, and a heart full of good meditations, which he is ever and anon ready to pour out in Gods presence? They that set not their friends nor themselves on work, so much as they set their faith awork, they are the blessed people: they may assure themselves that God will not fail them, nor forsake them.
