Fret not, neither be anxious. What God intends to do He will do. And what we ask believing we shall receive. Never let us get into the common trick of calling unbelief resignation, of asking and then, because we have not faith to believe, putting in a "Thy will be done" at the end. Let us make God's will our will, and so say Thy will be done.

MS. 1843.

Peace! Why these fears?
Life is too short for mean anxieties:
Soul! thou must work, though blindfold.
