God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Never doubt God's desire or ability to help you.
Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!
Suffering can refine us rather than destroy us because God himself walks with us in the fire.
This is how God works. He puts people in positions where they are desperate for his power, and then he shows his provision in ways that display his greatness

...I came to realize that God never shows us something we aren't ready to understand. Instead, He lets us see what we need to see, when we need to see it.

As that love of which God is the object is religious love, so that confidence in Him as a Father, a Moral Governor, a Redeemer, a Sanctifier, in all the modes of His manifestation, by which we believe whatever He says because He says it, and commit ourselves and all our interests cheerfully and entirely into His hands, is religious faith.
