I came accross this quote in a devotional book and found it very encouraging.
" However low the people of God are at any time brought, everlasting arms are underneath them to keep the spirit from fainting and the faith from failing, even when they are pressed above measure... everlasting arms with which believers have been wonderfully sustained and kept cheerful in the worst of times. Divine grace is sufficient." Matthew Henry
