As i was praying for a friend the other day, the Lord brought this quote to mind. I have been so encouraged by it since.
'When Faith is brought into action, the extent and aggravation of the difficulty is a matter of little comparative moment. Difficulties heaped upon difficulties can never raise the level of the promise of God...Unbelief looks at the difficulty. Faith regards the promise...It is faith that enlives our work with perpetual cheerfulness. It committs every part of it to God, in hope, that even mistakes shall be overruled for his glory; and thus relieves us from an oppressive anxiety, often attendant upon a deep sense of our responsibility. The shortest way to peace will be found in casting ourselves upon God for daily pardon of deficiencies and supplies of grace, without too eagerly for present fruit.' - Charles Bridges
