Streams in the Desert, with Mrs. Charles Cowman

When the Lord calls you out upon the waters, step gladly forth. Look not for a moment away from Him.

Often our faith grows tired, languid, and relaxed, and our prayers lose their force and effectiveness.

Do we not sometimes kneel or sit before the Lord and yet feel conscious of a fluttering of our spirits? Not a real stillness in His presence.

Patiently wait for God alone, my soul! For he is the one who gives me confidence (Ps. 62:5). Every prayer of the Christian, made in faith, according to the will of God, for which God has promised, offered up in the name of Jesus Christ, and under the influence of the Spirit, whether for temporal or for spiritual blessings, is, or will be, fully answered.

God may not give us an easy journey to the Promised Land, but He will give us a safe one.

Paul does not say, "some things," or "most things," or "joyous things," but "ALL things."
