You have been asking for peace and comfort. But you do not understand that you have been
led to the brink of the fountain, and are refusing to drink. Peace and comfort can be found nowhere except
in simple obedience. So be faithful in
obeying even when you do not understand, and you will soon find that the rivers
of living water will flow as God promised.
You will receive according to the measure of your faith: much, if you believe much; nothing, if you
believe nothing and continue to listen to your own restless thoughts. – Fénelon (emphasis, mine)
Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil
is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten
days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the
crown of life. – Revelation 2:10
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed
in spirit. – Psalm 34:18
When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart, I
was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you. Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you
hold my right hand. You guide me with
your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. – Psalm 73:21-24
