"If the journey which many Christians take is not contrary to the wind, I doubt whether such a journey is ordained by the Lord.  We should take the journey that the Lord has ordained.  The Lord pays attention to every step we take.  He knows how great out temptations are and how difficult our circumstances are.  He will not let us endure beyond the fourth watch.  When the night is far advanced, He comes to us.  As soon as the Lord comes, everything is fine.  Thank and praise the Lord, the wind may be contrary, but it will not remain contrary forever.  Though rowing is a toil, we will not need to row forever."
