In this sermon, Charles Spurgeon urges believers to make God their only focus, relying completely on Him instead of worrying about problems or depending on other people and things for help. He teaches that Christians should trust God alone for guidance, protection, and provision in every area of life—whether facing money troubles, sickness, slander, or any other difficulty—rather than anxiously trying to solve everything themselves or looking to friends, wealth, or their own cleverness for solutions. Spurgeon emphasizes that those who put their complete trust in God and wait patiently for His help will find true peace and happiness both in this life and in the eternal life to come, while those who depend on anything else will ultimately be disappointed.
