「他（亞伯拉罕）在無可指望的時候，仍靠指望而信，...他的信還是不軟弱。」－羅馬書4:18-19
「只有一個秘訣能擁有信心，那就是忍受艱難的試煉。這是真的！當一切環境都令你失望時，正是你開始信靠的時候！
在每次險惡的環境裡屹立不搖，這使我習得信心的功課。」
親愛的，我想，你從來不覺得你此刻的機會是多麼寶貴。
若你現在正經歷苦難，那你該知道，這是你學習信心功課最好的時機；只要你願意放下你自己的感覺，祂就能教導你如何在最艱難的時刻，緊緊抓住神的施恩寶座。
「不要怕，只要信！」無論你什麼時候感到害怕，只管抬起你的頭，宣告說：「我什麼時候懼怕，就什麼時候倚靠。」
這樣，你就能為著置身於苦難的學校中而感謝神，因為對你來說，這也是所信心的學校。－宣信
「偉大的信心需要經過偉大的試煉」
"For Abraham, when hope was gone, hoped on in faith. His faith never quailed" (Rom. 4:18-19).We shall never forget a remark that George Mueller once made to a gentleman who had asked him the best way to have strong faith.
"The only way," replied the patriarch of faith, "to learn strong faith is to endure great trials. I have learned my faith by standing firm amid severe testings." This is very true. The time to trust is when all else fails.
Dear one, you scarcely realize the value of your present opportunity; if you are passing through great afflictions you are in the very soul of the strongest faith, and if you will only let go, He will teach you in these hours the mightiest hold upon His throne which you can ever know.
"Be not afraid, only believe." And if you are afraid, just look up and say, "What time I am afraid I will trust in thee," and you will yet thank God for the school of sorrow which was to you the school of faith. --A. B. Simpson
"Great faith must have great trials."
