You must hand yourself and all your inward experiences, your temptations, your temperament, your frames and feelings, all over into the care of your God, and leave them there. He made you and therefore He understands you, and knows how to manage you, and you must trust Him to do it.
Hannah Whitall Smith

Hannah Whitall Smith
Nothing else but seeing God in everything can make us loving and patient with those who annoy us. When we realize that they are only the instruments for accomplishing His purpose in our lives, we will actually be able to thank them [inwardly] for the blessings they bring us.
Hannah Whitall Smith
When all else is gone, God is left, and nothing changes Him.
Hannah Whitall Smith
No soul can be really at rest until it has given up all dependence on everything else and has been forced to depend on the Lord alone. As long as our expectation is from other things, nothing but disappointment awaits us.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Thee may tell Aunt Janet from me that she might as well try to stop the stars in their courses as to try to stop a love affair.
Hannah Whitall Smith

Hannah Whitall Smith
Before the acorn can bring forth the oak, it must become itself a wreck. No plant ever came from any but a wrecked seed.
