The consolation and help I received from my meditations sustained methrough all my trials and hardships, and I plodded my weary way alongwith God in my heart and bright hopes for the future. I knew if I drewnigh unto God he would draw nigh unto me; and that if I would let theword of Christ dwell in me I would be rich in all wisdom. Yet I sometimes wasaware I should suffer persecution if I lived godly in Jesus Christ;therefore I determined to continue in the things which I had learned.
