My body is wrecked and right now I can't do anything with it anymore. So I'm handing it over: Here, God, you have my body, my mind – I have no plan left. But hopefully you do. Do with it what you want, and preferably right away.

Samuel Koch (* 1987) ist ein deutscher Schauspieler, Buchautor und Vortragsredner mit evangelischer Prägung, der an verschiedenen deutschsprachigen Theatern und in Filmproduktionen wirkt. Über seine Theaterengagements hinaus erlangte er Bekanntheit durch Veröffentlichungen und Vorträge zu Themen wie Resilienz, Demut und Vergebung. Für Bibelleser veranschaulicht sein öffentliches Auftreten ein Festhalten an Gott in existentiellen Krisen, das ohne einfache Antworten oder Wohlstandsversprechen auskommt.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon

I am so weak. I can’t read my Bible. I can’t even pray. I can only lie still in God’s arms like a little child and trust.

The bow cannot be always bent without fear of breaking. Repose is as needful to the mind as sleep to the body… Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength.
