Trusting the Father with Our Hardest Work

Oh! how sweet it is, whenever we come to any bit of work that is too hard for us, just to go and ask our Father to help us in it. The little child feels that he has no strength or wisdom of his own; but he knows where to look for both. Show me how to do this; it is too difficult for me. And so the father bends down in pitying love and patience, and the child stands meekly by, helpless and yet trustful, while the burden is lifted by a stronger hand, and the tangled threads fall into their proper places.
