To trust in God means to confide to Him our life, our fate, all our
future, and to wait with confidence for the fulfillment of His promises. Hope
proceeds from faith, as the plant from the seed, or the stream from the source.
We believe that the Lord is good and merciful, that He loves us as a Father,
and therefore that He desires every good and true happiness for us. He is most
wise and omniscient, and consequently He knows better than we ourselves what is
really needful and useful for us. He is almighty; and thus He is always able to
bestow upon us that which He pleases, to fulfill that which He has promised. He
is holy and righteous, and therefore all His words are truth. His promises are
unchangeable.
Saint John of Kronstadt (1829-1908)
