"6. Another end that God has in the continuance of spiritual troubles and afflictions, and the sense of His wrath long upon us, is that from our experience Christ may be forever very precious to us. When we are are at ease and think ourselves whole, we seldom think of Him. But our pain, our smart, our guilt and our fears, the sight of our present danger and approaching wrath, all cause us to run to this Physician and beg His help when we are sinking. They will make us stretch out our hands and say, "Master, save us or else we perish!" Never did a poor man beg for alms with more earnestness than we shall beg for His help, never did a diseased person, after a violent, racking pain, more long for rest and a cure than when we shall long for Christ. Having fallen among lions, having been the slaves of fear, and having been held in captivity by the temptations of Satan, we shall most gladly shake off our chains and embrace liberty and salvation when our Lord comes to set us free. The sight of Him as our Savior will make us run to meet Him and say, "Welcome, Thou only Friend of our souls; welcome, Thou dear Physician and Healer of our souls. Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is He to who comes to us in the name of the Lord!" page 143,144 'Trouble of Mind and the Disease of Melancholy' Timothy Rogers
