Some are always anticipating evil, or magnifying the difficulties that really exist, so that their eyes are blinded to the many blessings which demand their gratitude. The obstacles they encounter, instead of leading them to seek help from God, the only source of strength, separate them from Him, because they awaken unrest and repining. {FLB 63.4}

Nogle tager altid forskud på det dårlige, eller gør vanskeligheder større end de er, så at deres øje er forblændet på de mange velsignelser som afkræver deres taknemmelighed. I stedet for at søge hjælp fra Gud, den eneste kilde af styrke, adskilles de fra ham, af de forhindringer de støder ind i, for de vækker rastløshed og klager.
