This doth strengthen our dependence and reliance on our blessed Redeemer, by him all things do subsist, therefore he can hear all Prayers, relieve us in all our straits, supply us in all wants, preserve us in all dangers. All nations are in his hands, our whole Life is in his keeping and upheld by his intimate presence with us, our days cannot be longer nor shorter then he pleaseth, if he were absent from us he might forget us or neglect us, but he is within us, and round about us in the effects of his power and goodness; since he is so near us, why should we doubt of his particular care and providence. All Nations are in his hands, the lives and hearts of Friends and Enemies, therefore our eyes should be upon him, Psal. 16.8. I have set the Lord always before me, he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved, we set the Lord before us both in point of reverence and dependence, for fear and trust agree in their common nature, and so it may note our care to please him or our trust and quietness in him, all means are nothing to us, can do nothing for us without him.
