The eyes of the Lord are upon the just'; no need to be afraid then of your difficulties; the Lord's eyes are on you. ‘And his ears are open to their prayers.’ What more could you want? If the complaints of a slave in a large household didn't reach the head of the family, he would have something further still to complain about, and say: ‘What we have to put up with here, and nobody takes any notice of us!’ you cannot say about God, can you, ‘The things I endure and no one takes any notice'?—Well, if he did take any notice of me, perhaps you will say, he would remove my troubles for me. I clamour and I am in trouble. —Youjust keep to his ways, and when you are in trouble, he notice it.
