“The believer’s comfort in trouble is that everything they endure is ordained and commanded by God and that they are in His hands. Everything that could harm them is under His control, even Satan, with all his malevolence, is on a tight rein and no danger can threaten a believer unless God wills it. This is the only way in which wild and faithless fears aroused by the dangers which surround us can be quietened.”
~ John Calvin 1509-1564
