Many Times You Wrote That You Could Not Sleep At Night. What Did You Think About During Those Long Hours, Especially When You Were Sick? LASW 27

I am glad when the daylight comes, for the nights are long. But when I cannot sleep I think that One who never slumbers is watching over me for good. Jesus knows all about the pains and griefs we bear. My prayer on awaking is, Jesus, keep Thy child today. Make me a fruit-bearing branch of the living Vine. Through Christ we can do all things. LASW 27.4

He was ever touched, while upon this earth, with the sorrows of children. He often dried their tears. LASW 28.1

I am so thankful that I can tell the Lord all my fears. I feel that I am under His wings. LASW 28.2

When I wake in the night it seems that Jesus is looking upon me. LASW 28.3

My hours of pain have been hours of prayer. My heart goes out to Jesus in loving trust. He knows what is best for me. LASW 28.4

The Lord is not pleased to have us fret and worry ourselves out of the arms of Jesus. LASW 28.5

What is the path to heaven? Is it a road? No, it is a path that is narrow. Our Captain, Jesus Christ, has hid nothing from us in regard to the battles we are to fight. He opens the map before us and shows us the way. Let us gather every promise. Let us repeat them by day and in the night and be happy. ^{21Selected Messages 2:237-244.} LASW 28.6
