"Could I go to God with such troubles?"
"Yes, my dear; you can tell Him, just as you would me, all your unhappiness, and ask Him to comfort you."
"Mother, I am very glad we read that Psalm this morning. I think I love God better already, and I hope I shall always trust Him."
"I hope you will; and if you begin when you are a little girl, you will learn better and better about Him, and be far happier than those who have no such friend to go to in trouble."
"Why, cannot everybody go to God with their wants?"
"Certainly, if they will; but a great many people never tell Him their troubles--never ask Him to forgive them, nor to take care of them. They did not begin in their childhood, and it is difficult to learn these trusts when we are old."
"Oh! I hope I shall learn it now, while you can help me, mother."
"God alone can help you, my child; ask Him to teach you to trust Him."
