None of us will find this "pleasure of the Lord to prosper in our hands," except every effort is grounded upon the practical conviction, that no strength but the arm of Omnipotence is sufficient for the work.
Conscious helplessness sinks under the depressing weight of responsibility.
Thus discouragements, properly sustained and carefully improved, become our most fruitful sources of eventual encouragement...
Charles Bridges, The Christian Ministry, p. 16-17
