The keep up a din and chatter straining the nerves and chilling the heart. Fear dashes into the mind and holds us fast. Anxiety and nervousness appear and drive off rest and keep one sleepless all night long for nothing. Doubt is let in and allowed to speak blowing out every light,and filling the room with darkness. Trouble, many faced, many handed, will fill the mind, and stay all day, and return in the morning by the time you open your eyes.
Cares weighing a thousand pounds each, come to unload in the room.
Old self , under Gods judgment, and refusing to die, wants to stay on hand all the time. It wants the best chair in the mind and the most attention although it is a most unwholesome visitor. It has been deposed by God and is under His everlasting curse, and yet wants to lurk around all the time. All these things will harass and possess and occupy and claim all the attention of the mind, if allowed . Throw them out and they get right up and come in again.
