Was it long ago, or was it but yesterday, that we prayed for strength to perform a certain duty, to bear a certain burden, to overcome a certain temptation, and received it? Do we dream that the Divine force was exhausted in answering that one prayer? No more than the great river is exhausted by turning the wheels of one mill. Put it to the proof again with today’s duty, today’s burden, today’s temptation. Thrust yourself further and deeper into the stream of God’s power, and feel it again, as you have felt it before, able to do exceeding abundantly. Remember and trust.
Henry van Dyke
