"In perplexities-when we cannot tell what to do, when we cannot understand what is going on around us, let us be calmed and steadied and made patient by the thought that what is hidden from us is not hidden from Him."
- Frances Ridley Havergal (1887). “My King, Or, Daily Thoughts for the King's Children”
