Go to God.

ALWAYS, on all occasions, in all circumstances of darkness—doubt, fear, trouble, trial, conflict, temptation. Husbands, are you tempted? Wives, are you? Parents, are you? Children, are you? Go to God; flee to your closets, run. Fall on your faces; plead the promises, the merits of Christ; his atonement, sacrifice, righteousness, salvation and sanctification. "Resist the Devil and he will flee from you." In all domestic arrangements, in family trials and duties, in church trials and duties—go to God, lay the case before him in humble faith; tell Him all your heart, pour out your soul.
Husbands, have you a petulant, impatient, troublesome, fault-finding wife, whose tongue is a trip hammer, or perpetual motion, a continual dropping on a very rainy day; whose tongue, though a little member, no man can tame? Is it so? Are you daily in the very midst of this flame? What now? Where now? To God? Certainly, by all means. Run for your life.—Golden Rule.
