Fall in, therefore with the gracious design of God; follow every affliction with prayer, that God would follow it with his blessing. God kills your comforts, out of no other design but to kill your corruptions with them: wants are ordained to kill wantonness, poverty is appointed to kill pride, reproaches are permitted to pull down ambition: Happy is the man who understands, approves, and heartily sets in with the design of God, in such afflicting providences.The Method of Grace
