"to be on my spirits, driving me to despair. I doubted my acceptance with God, and could not pray. I had not courage so much as to lift my eyes to heaven. I suffered intense anguish of mind until my husband besought the Lord in my behalf. He would not yield until my voice was united with his for deliverance. The blessing came, and I began to hope. My trembling faith grasped the promises of God. LS 136.3"
"The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles."
The EGW passage describes a period of intense spiritual distress followed by deliverance through prayer, directly mirroring the theme of the righteous crying out to God and being delivered from their troubles in Psalm 34:17.
