How often we say about our earthly friends, "I really would like to have a good quiet settled talk with them so that I can really get to know them." And shouldn't we feel the same about our Heavenly Friend, that we may really get to know Him? These thoughts have taught me the importance of the children of God taking time to commune daily with their Father, so that they may get to know His mind and to understand better what His will is.

Remember always that there are two things which are more utterly incompatible even than oil and water, and these two are trust and worry.

When believers really trust anything, they cease to worry about the thing they have trusted.
