So that there is no condition so sad, but Gods people have still cause of rejoicing in it. Thou canst think of nothing, if thou be a Believer, that can minister just cause of trouble to thee. And therefore why art thou so cast down?
So that there is no condition so sad, but Gods people have still cause of rejoycing in it. Thou canst think of nothing, if thou bee a Beleever, that can minister just cause of trouble to thee. And therefore why art thou so cast down?
If there were more Trust, there would be less Trouble. I dare be bold to say, that all the troubles, all the disquiets of Gods people do arise from want of Faith. Were there more Faith, there would be more Comfort. And therefore as David physicked his soul, when it was cast down and discouraged — Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Trust in God: So let us exercise our Trust, and all our Troubles will vanish, all our disquiets will dis-appear and be gone.

Let Faith come in, and discover the Promises of God, made to thee in this thy sad condition.
