But the things that we feel most deeply we ought to learn to be silent about, at least until we have talked them over thoroughly with God.

If you are married, then accept that. Accept the husband that God has given you. If you are single, accept your singleness and take it as if today was the last day of your life. Don't be looking constantly to the future.

A whole lot of what we call 'struggling' is simply delayed obedience.

God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don't have now, we don't need now.
