“[F]riends are fallible. The wisest among them is still prone to misjudgment, and the most knowledgeable among them is still prone to ignorance…. Even the best-intentioned friend can provide counsel that hurts, harms, or leads astray…. It is a tremendous comfort, then, that when we pray, we are not praying to someone else who is just trying to figure it all out, as we are.” - Challies

“There is so much that we don’t understand. There is so much that we are incapable of understanding. So rest is found in trusting the Father.

Yes, he will ask you to do hard things and he will bring difficult things your way, but he is worthy of your trust and he loves you dearly.” - Paul David Tripp
