“It Is Well
At times when you are unwell
As you almost drown in a pool of tears
Walk away from any distress
And choose to say, ‘It is well.’
When life becomes so hard
And the pain you face becomes too sharp
When your days feel like cold nights
Be the one to say, ‘It is well.’
When you wonder which way to take
And you are unsure how you will get there
When you go through myriad tests
Trust the Lord and say, ‘It is well.’
When everything seems unfair
And people begin to doubt the God you serve
When you go through things you do not deserve
Learn to say, ‘It is well.’
Things will not always go your way
Because it is the Lord’s will that prevails
That is why in every circumstance
You should pray and say, ‘It is well.”

The relationship of these presumptions is left in the dark; one sees neither whether and in how far their connection is necessary, nor a priori whether it is possible. From Euclid to Legendre, to name the most renowned of modern writers on geometry, this darkness has been lifted neither by the mathematicians nor the philosophers who have laboured upon it.”
