A Christian may for many days together see neither sun nor star, neither 
light in God's countenance, nor light in his own heart, though even at 
that time God darts some beams through those clouds upon the soul; the 
soul again by a spirit of faith sees some light through those thickest 
clouds, enough to keep it from utter despair, though not to settle it in 
peace. In this dark condition, if they do as Paul and his company did, 
cast an anchor even in the dark night of temptation, and pray still for 
day, God will appear, and all shall clear up, we shall see light without 
and light within; the day-star will arise in their hearts.
