We are in no condition for good work of any kind when we are fretted and anxious in mind.

It is only when the peace of God is in our heart that we are ready for true and really helpful ministry.

A feverish heart makes a worried face, and a worried face casts a shadow.

A troubled spirit mars the temper and disposition.

It unfits one for being a comforter of others, for giving cheer and inspiration, for touching other lives with good and helpful impulses.
