It is a special part of the divine worship that we owe to God, to be content in a Christian way, as has been shown to you.

You will not find one Godly man who came out of an affliction worse than when he went into it. Though for a little while he was shaken, yet, at last, he was better for an affliction. But, a great many Godly men have been worse for their prosperity.

Your mercies are more than your afflictions.

When God has given you your heart's desire, what have you done with your heart's desire?

To be well skilled in the mystery of Christian contentment is the duty, glory and excellence of a Christian.

Our names... are in the hands of God, Who will preserve them so far as He has use of them, and further we shall have no use of them ourselves.

the Lord does not so much look at the work that is done, as at the faithfulness of our hearts in doing it.
