Hoping in, and having confidence in God alone. [THREAD]

Yes, it is essential not to depend on our own strength in this unseen war, however, if we simply surrender all hope of betterment and fall into despair without having found support, we are sure to take flight suddenly and we will be defeated by our foes and taken prisoner.

So, along with full renunciation of ourselves we should sow in our heart complete trust and confidence in God.

These thoughts will aid you to have this hope and thus to receive help.

If our God never stops carefully and lovingly looking for the blind and deaf sinner, how is one to imagine He would now forsake him when, as a lost sheep, he calls out for the Shepherd?

(4) The fourth means of keeping a lively faith in God and of obtaining His ready assistance is to go over in our mind all the times His divine aid quickly came in Holy Writ. "Consider the ancient generations and see who ever trusted in the Lord and was put to shame?" (Sir 2:10)

With these weapons, go into war with courage, and fight carefully with the complete confidence that success will be given to you. With them you will surely attain perfect trust in God, and that trust will never fail to draw God's assistance and grant you unbeatable power.
