My Father works hitherto, and I work, (as also the Holy Spirit.) John 5:17.

O my poor soul, should the blessed Trinity not be able to destroy the works of the devil and fulfil his good will in thee! O, yes, he works both to will and to do; and that very thing which is above your own power, he works, and nothing else. If you can do little, he works much: if nothing at all, so much the better, then he works all; for he is our All, since we are nothing and can do nothing. And happy are we that we can have him for our assistance in all things, and that the children of God are not required to direct their own steps, but shall be led by their heavenly Father. Now O Lord, since by the will, guidings, and workings of my own heart, I throw only so many hindrances and blocks in my way; grant, I beseech thee, that in true dependence on thee, I may venture every thing, and despairing of my own sufficiency, may always abide in thee, draw all necessary strength from thee by prayer, and bring forth many good fruits which last to eternity. For the power in me being an eternal power; thy work, weak as it seems now, will also last eternally, that none shall be able to destroy it.

Thy counsels. Lord, shall guide my feet
Through this dark wilderness;
Thy hand conduct me near thy seat,
To dwell before thy face.

What if the springs of life were broke,
And flesh and heart should faint?
God is my soul’s eternal rock,
The strength of every saint.
