Afflictions are sent for this end, to bring us to the throne of grace, to teach us to pray and to make the word of God more precious to us. ---- Matthew Henry
Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your Word. It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes (Proverbs 119:67, 71).
Every branch of mine that does not bear fruit He takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit (John 15:2).
For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh (II Corinthians 4:11).
A hymn to read, sing, hum, or whistle to the glory of God: Sweet Hour of Prayer.
