“God’s time is the best time; mercy is never nearer; Salvation is at hand, deliverance is at the door, when a man’s heart is brought into such a frame as to be freely willing that God should time his mercy and time his deliverance for him.   Acts 27:13-44.”  (Thomas Brooks 1608-1680)

“In a word, trust in God is that high act or exercise of faith whereby the soul, looking upon God and casting itself on his goodness, power, promises, faithfulness, and providence, is lifted up above carnal fears and discouragements; above perplexing doubts and disquietments; either for the obtaining and continuance of that which is good, or for the preventing or removing of that which is evil.”  Thomas Lye  (1621-1684)
