Begone, unbelief,
My Savior is near,
And for my relief
Will surely appear;
By prayer let me wrestle,
And He will perform;
With Christ in the vessel,
I smile at the storm.

Though dark be my way,
Since He is my Guide,
'Tis mine to obey,
'Tis His to provide;
Though cisterns be broken,
And creatures all fail,
The word He hath spoken
Shall surely prevail.

His love, in time past,
Forbids me to think
He'll leave me at last
In trouble to sink:
Each sweet Ebenezer
I have in review
Confirms His good pleasure
To help me quite through.

Why should I complain
Of want or distress,
Temptation or pain?
He told me no less;
The heirs of salvation,
I know from His Word,
Through much tribulation
Must follow their Lord.

How bitter that cup
No heart can conceive,
Which He drank quite up,
That sinners might live!
His way was much rougher
And darker than mine;
Did Christ, my Lord, suffer,
And shall I repine?

Since all that I meet
Shall work for my good,
The bitter is sweet,
The medicine, food;
Though painful at present,
'Twill cease before long,
And then, oh, how pleasant
The conqueror's song!
Shall work for my good,
The bitter is sweet,
The medicine, food;
Though painful at present,
'Twill cease before long,

Had a lot on my mind this evening, confused about the happening around me . I have this big picture of how business will be but don't know how I will get there… as I was thinking and doubting myself, this hymn came in mind and I felt calm

It was the second stanza that came to mind today as I walked down to the Patmos Prayer and Retreat Centre. It was a reminder that only Christ handles all my struggles and challenges thoroughly and beyond my imagination.

This hymn Suzanna Spurgeon quoted in her last hours before departing from this life.
I have found the line, “Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review, confirms His good pleasure to help me quite through. ” To be a great reminder and comfort.
Because when we look back at God’s faithfulness, at how He intervened and helped in times past, it is evidence that He is good and faithful and will continue to be our help. When life is dark and we are tempted to feel hopeless, it’s good to remember our “Ebenezers” from God.
As Charles Spurgeon said, “God’s past deliverances beget faith”.

Jesus as my savior is one thing; as my Lord is another. You may reluctantly agreed with your doctor but owner demands submission.
I've been in argument for a while with Him but now in complete submission. It's now that I realized it's His mercy that help into that state finally so as to fully handle what's plaguing me in my argumentative state.
Yes truly, with Jesus in the vessel, I'll smile at the storm.
O seun o! Jesu.
