The moment I awakened, “Jesus, Master,” was in my heart and in my
mouth; and I found all my strength lay in keeping my eye fixed upon Him and my soul
waiting on Him continually. Being again at St. Paul’s in the afternoon, I could taste the good
word of God in the anthem which began, “My song shall be always of the loving-kindness
of the Lord: with my mouth will I ever be showing forth thy truth from one generation to
another.” Yet the enemy injected a fear, “If thou dost believe, why is there not a more sensible
change? I answered (yet not I), “That I know not. But, this I know, I have ‘now peace with
God.’ And I sin not today, and Jesus my Master has forbidden me to take thought for the
morrow.”
