Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him and expect help from Him, He will never fail you. An older brother who has known the Lord for forty-four years, who writes this, says to you for your encouragement that He has never failed him. In the greatest difficulties, in the heaviest trials, in the deepest poverty and necessities, He has never failed me; but because I was enabled by His grace to trust Him He has always appeared for my help. I delight in speaking well of His name.
– George Mueller (exerpt from Streams in the Desert, ed. L.B. Cowman)
O Lord, I know this testimony is true, and there are thousands more like it. May I learn to lean on you while I am yet young – speed the cultivation of my faith, that I might abide peacefully in your presence all my days. Let me walk with you, look to you, and expect help from you, as a dependent child. I look fondly on the carefree days of my childhood, when all was adventure and wonder, and when I did not understand, nor wish to understand, nor doubt in the least the provision of my father.
