Quiet Please

The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness. 
~Elizabeth Elliot

We have only to be patient, to pray, and to do His will, according to our present light and strength, and the growth of the soul will go on.  The plant grows in the mist and under clouds as truly as under sunshine.  So does the heavenly principle within.  
W.E. Channing

"Yea, though thou canst not believe, yet be not dismayed; only do thou sink into, or at least pant after the hidden measure of life, which is not in that which distresseth, disturbeth, and filleth thee with thoughts, fears, troubles,anguish, darknesses,  terrors,and the like; no, no!  but in that which inclines to the patience, to the stillness, to the hope, to the waiting, to the
silence before the Father.     
~I. Penington
