SA 67:2{Does He mean as much as this? Well, He has caused it to be written for us "that we might have hope"; and what more do we want? Then let Him do it. Let Him perform all things for us. Not some things, but all things; or the very things which we think there is no particular need for Him to perform will be all failures—wood, hay and stubble to be burnt up. One by one let us claim this wonderful word; "the thing of a day in his day," "as the matter shall require," being always brought to Him with the God-given petition, "Do Thou for me." Do not wait to feel very much oppressed before you say, "O Lord, undertake for me." Far better say that at first than at last, as we have too often done! Bring the prayer in one hand, and clasp the promise in the other, joining them in the faith-clasp of "Do as Thou hast said!" And put both the hands into the hand of Him whom the Father heareth always, saying, "Do Thou for me, O Lord God, for Thy name's sake," for the sake of Jehovah-Jesus, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, yet the Savior of sinners.
And there was calm! O Savior, I have proved
That Thou to help and save art really near:
How else this quiet rest from grief, and fear,
And all distress? The cross is not removed,
I must go forth to bear it as before,
But, leaning on Thine arm, I dread its weight no more.
