Wisdom from the Holy Fathers

Trust in the will of the Lord, and He will not discredit you. Show your trust not with words, but with deeds. Life has become difficult because people have complicated it with their own reasonings, and instead of turning to God for help, they turn to their own understanding and rely solely on it. Do not fear sorrows or sickness or sufferings or any kind of trials, for all of this is a visitation from God and is for your benefit.                                                                                    ~ Saint Elder Anatole of Optina
