Do we make it a habit to be constantly referring to God about everything? We learn first, that God is, and then our faith feeds upon what God is. His faithfulness and His lovingkindness are seen in all His dealings with us. So we may say faith is like the telegraph wire which connects two places however far apart they may be. We had an illustration of this not long ago.

And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.

It is the glory, the fulness, the living richness, the abundant lovingkindness, the supreme and absolute finality, of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In many countries we have chained the savage and starved him to death; and this we do not care for, because custom has inured us to it; yet a quick death by poison is lovingkindness to it. In many countries we have burned the savage at the stake; and this we do not care for, because custom has inured us to it; yet a quick death is loving-kindness to it.

O that my prayer would reach unto the throne of Thy glory, and my supplication unto the throne of Thy mercy, and Thou wouldst incline to me with lovingkindness.

Now, have Thou mercy upon the work of Thy hands.
