" 'How canst thou be such a hypocrite,' 

said I, even audibly, 

'to pretend to be thankful for a condition which, 

however thou mayest endeavor to be contented with,

 thou wouldest rather pray heartily to be delivered from?' ”

(Defoe 97). 

Thank you, Lord, for a job which often directs my heart back to Yourself.
