In a letter dated October 12, 1776, John Newton wrote to Captain Clunie, "I long to have a more entire submission to his will, and a more steadfast confidence in his word, to trust him and wait on him, to see his hand and praise his name in every circumstance of life great and small. The more of this spirit, the more heaven is begun upon earth. And why should we not trust him at all times? Which part of our past experience can charge him with unfaithfulness? Has he not done all things well? And is he not the same yesterday, today, and forever? O my soul, wait thou only upon him."
O Lord, let us trust only in you and be satisfied only with you!
