Upon this, rising cheerfully out of my bed, my heart was not only comforted, but I was guided and encouraged to pray earnestly to God for deliverance: when I had done praying I took up my Bible, and opening it to read, the first words that presented to me were, “Wait on the Lord, and be of good cheer, and He shall strengthen thy heart; wait, I say, on the Lord.”
Entonces, me levanté alegremente de la cama, con el corazón lleno de confianza y la convicción de que le rezaría fervorosamente a Dios por mi salvación. Cuando terminé de rezar, cogí la Biblia y, al abrirla, tropecé con las siguientes palabras: Aguarda al Señor y ten valor y Él fortalecerá tu corazón; aguarda, he dicho, al Señor.
