"The crosses which we make for ourselves by over-anxiety as to the future are not Heaven-sent crosses. We tempt God by our false wisdom, seeking to forestall His arrangements, and struggling to supplement His providence by our own provisions. The future is not ours. Let us shut our eyes to that which God hides from us in the hidden depths of His wisdom. Let us worship without seeing. The crosses actually laid upon us always bring their own special grace and consequent comfort with them...But the crosses wrought by anxious forebodings are altogether beyond God's dispensations;...so everything seems hard and unendurable;... All this comes of not trusting to God and prying into His hidden ways. 'Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.' Our Lord has said, and the evil of each day becomes good if we leave it to God."
