If we become interested in ourselves and occupied in taking our own temperatures, so to speak, then that truth which should bring blessing will either slip out of sight or be put out of focus.

Let us follow His wishes in every smallest detail, unconfused by the voices and customs around us.

…each shall have the gift of a great contentment, so as to desire no more than he has got. (Augustine of Hippo)

…at times indeed life seems to be but one long unbroken practice of His Divine Presence. (Brother Lawrence)

So let us not give up hope, for He never does. 

Whatever of truth and righteousness man has, is from that fountain, after which we in this desert ought to thirst,

…there is fair weather whatever wind may blow.
