“Most Christians are at times afraid whether they shall not miscarry at last. Such doubtings are always through some want of the exercise of faith, and the best remedy for them is a renewed resort of the soul to this hiding place; the same act which at first gave comfort and peace, will give peace again. They who clearly see the sufficiency of Christ, and the safety of committing themselves to Him to save them from what they fear, will rest in that Christ will defend them. Be directed therefore at such times to do as the psalmist. Psalm 56:3-4: ‘What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee. In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust. I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.’”
—Jonathan Edwards, Altogether Lovely (Morgan, PA: Soli Deo Gloria, 1997), 56
