Confidence in God

 

Confidence in God and Surrender to Him

 

Spiritual Conferences, Vol. 1, 1. A person who is conscious of his misery can certainly have great confidence in God.  In fact, he cannot have true confidence in him without this consciousness of his misery.  This knowledge and acknowledgement of our misery leads us to the presence of God. 

 

Letter to a Wife and Mother, 7: Foster in your soul a loving trust in God.  Even when you’re surrounded by trials and imperfections lift up your heart in complete confidence.  Be very humble; humility, when it is enthusiastic and yet free from all agitation, is greater than all other virtues.
