Viewed from the material sojourn, apparently every hopeful endeavor, every hopeful period of the entity’s sojourn during this experience has been shattered either by seemingly unnecessary disappointments or by forebodings that have become at times as obsessions.

Yet the determination to go on, to do and to be, has driven and does drive the entity at all times. And it would never, under any circumstance, do for this entity—now—in the present experience—to do other than to be striving onward always. 1816-1

(Q) Please give me any other advice I may need at present.

(A) Do not allow disturbing conditions to so fret the body-physical as to undermine or to sap the vitality. Know, as has oft been given, in thine own strength alone little may be accomplished, but in the strength of the power and the might of thine Savior, in and through His promises, much may be done. 303-13

And do find patience with self. It has been said, "Have we not piped all the day long and no one has answered?" Seekest thou, as was given from this illustration, for the gratifying of thy self? or seekest thou to be a channel of blessing to thy fellow man? They may not have answered as thou hast seen. They may have even shown contempt, as sneering, for thy patience and thy trouble. But somewhere the sun still shines; somewhere the day is done; for those that have grown weary, for those that have given up. The Lord abhorreth the quitter. And those temptations that come in such cases are the viewing of thine own self. Ye have hurt thyself and ye have again crucified thy Lord, when ye become impatient or speak harshly because someone has jeered or because someone has sneered or because someone has laughed at thy efforts!
