This depression comes over me whenever the Lord is preparing a larger blessing for my ministry; the cloud is black before it breaks, and overshadows before it yields its deluge of mercy. Depression has now become to me as a prophet in rough clothing, a John the Baptist, heralding the nearer coming of my Lord's richer benison. So have far better men found it. The scouring of the vessel has fitted it for the Master's use. Immersion in suffering has preceded the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Fasting gives an appetite for the banquet. The Lord is revealed in the backside of the desert, while his servant keepeth the sheep and waits in solitary awe. The wilderness is the way to Canaan. The low valley leads to the towering mountain. Defeat prepares for victory.

C.H. Spurgeon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Keep filo sheets laid out and covered with a
damp towel. In a bowl, combine the sugar, walnuts, cinnamon, and cloves.
Place 10-12 sheets of filo pastry in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish, brushing
every other sheet evenly with butter. Sprinkle 1/4 of the walnut mixture on
top. Cover with another 5 or 6 buttered sheets, and repeat, covering with
remaining buttered filo sheets. Heat remaining butter until hot and lightly
browned. Pour evenly over the baklava. Bake for 30 minutes. Reduce
temperature to 300 degrees and bake for 1 hour longer. When cooled, pour
hot syrup on top.
To make syrup, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil continue
boiling for 15 minutes, or until syrup is slightly thick. Add the honey and
bring just to a boil. Add lemon juice.
