_Showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things_.--TITUS ii. 10. If on our daily course our mind Be set to hallow all we find, New treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice. J. KEBLE If content and thankfulness, if the patient bearing of evil, be duties to God, they are the duties of every day, and in every circumstance of our life. If we are to follow Christ, it must be in our common way of spending every day. WM. LAW. He who is faithful over a few things is a lord of cities. It does not matter whether you preach in Westminster Abbey, or teach a ragged class, so you be faithful. The faithfulness is all. G. MACDONALD. I would have you invoke God often through the day, asking Him to kindle a love for your vocation within you, and saying with St. Paul, "'Lord, what wouldst Thou have me to do?' Wouldst Thou have me serve Thee in the lowest ministries of Thy house? too happy if I may but serve Thee anyhow." And when any special thing is repugnant to you, ask "Wouldst Thou have me do it? Then, unworthy though I be, I will do it gladly." ST. FRANCIS DE SALES. March 20 _Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve_.--MATT. iv. 10. _Blessed are they that keep His testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart_.--PS. cxix. 2. The comfort of a mind at rest From every care Thou hast not blest; A heart from all the world set free, To worship and to wait on Thee. A. L. WARING. Resign every forbidden joy; restrain every wish that is not referred to His will; banish all eager desires, all anxiety. Desire only the will of God; seek Him alone, and you will find peace. FRANÇOIS DE LA MOTHE FÉNELON. "I've been a great deal happier since I have given up thinking about what is easy and pleasant, and being discontented because I couldn't have my own will. Our life is determined for us; and it makes the mind very free when we give up wishing, and only think of bearing what is laid upon us, and doing what is given us to do." GEORGE ELIOT. March 21 _Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things_.--MATT. vi. 32. All as God wills, who wisely heeds To give or to withhold; And knoweth more of all my needs Than all my prayers have told. J. G. WHITTIER. Lord, I know not what I ought to ask of Thee; Thou only knowest what I need; Thou lovest me better than I know how to love myself. O Father! give to Thy child that which he himself knows not how to ask. I dare not ask either for crosses or consolations; I simply present myself before Thee; I open my heart to Thee. Behold my needs which I know not myself; see, and do according to Thy tender mercy. Smite, or heal; depress me, or raise me up; I adore all Thy purposes without knowing them; I am silent; I offer myself in sacrifice; I yield myself to Thee; I would have no other desire than to accomplish Thy will. Teach me to pray; pray Thyself in me.
