"There are snags everywhere, or quicksand, or rocks, or shallows … Pray for them, sympathize with them, help were you can, and then cast them and yourself on the Lord in prayer." — Spurgeon

Purpose: a quote from Spurgeon

"… there are snags everywhere, or quicksand, or rocks, or shallows. He knows all about them. Rest. Trust. Wait. Commit your way unto the Lord. There is personal comfort in the fact that our salvation is of the Lord. And there is comfort, next, with regard to all our tried Brothers and Sisters. It is my lot -- my happy or unhappy lot -- to be continually consulted by Brothers and Sisters in great trouble. They think I can help them, though I cannot. I hardly know what to say to them. I can only take their burden with my own unto the Lord. I often feel great pain in sympathizing with trials which I cannot remove, but then it is cheering to know that the Lord can help where we cannot, for "the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord." He can help the helpless, the forlorn, the impoverished, the dying. He will bring His people safely through floods and fires. Their straits are very great and their burdens very heavy, but the Lord will put underneath them the everlasting arms. Pray for them; sympathize with them; help them as far as you can and then, when you cast yourself on your Lord, cast them, also!"
Charles Spurgeon
AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON. ON A THURSDAY EVENING. Spurgeon 1887
