He Rides Pleasantly Enough Whom The Grace

Let Not Therefore Thy Heart Be Troubled, Neither Let It Fear. Trust In Me, And Put Thy Confidence In My Mercy. When Thou Thinkest Thyself Farthest Off From Me, Oftentimes I Am Nearest Unto Thee. When Thou Countest Almost All To Be Lost, Then Oftentimes The Greatest Gain Of Reward Is Close At Hand. All Is Not Lost, When Any Thing Falleth Out Contrary. Thou Oughtest Not To Judge According To Present Feeling; Nor So To Take Any Grief, Or Give Thyself Over To It.

Remain Tranquil And Prepare To Bear Still Greater Trials. All Is Not Lost Even Though You Be Troubled Oftener Or Tempted More Grievously. You Are A Man, Not God. You Are Flesh, Not An Angel. How Can You Possibly Expect To Remain Always In The Same State Of Virtue When The Angels In Heaven And The First Man In Paradise Failed To Do So? I Am He Who Rescues The Afflicted And Brings To My Divinity Those Who Know Their Own Weakness.
