“Would you lose your sorrow? Would you drown your cares? Then go, plunge
yourself in the Godhead’s deepest sea; be lost in his immensity; and you shall
come forth as from a couch of rest, refreshed and invigorated. I know nothing
which can so comfort the soul; so calm the swelling billows of sorrow and grief; so
speak peace to the winds of trial, as a devout musing upon the subject of the
Godhead.”-- Spurgeon
