If, Then If all things are in his [God’s] hand, if the very hairs of our head are numbered; if every event, great and small, is under the direction of his providence and purpose; and if he has a wise, holy, and gracious end in view … then we have nothing to do but with patience and humility to follow as he leads, and cheerfully to expect a happy issue. JOHN NEWTON, Letters of Newton*
