We must often feel weary and tired yet God brings us through all these things.” Saint Mary MacKillop
“Do not fear what may happen tomorrow. The same loving Father who cares for you today will care for you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginings.” Saint Francis de Sales
“If God sends you many sufferings it is a sign that He has great plans for you, and certainly wants to make you a saint.” Saint Ignatius of Loyola
“Trust in God’s Providence, interfering–as it always does–for our own good.” Saint Mary MacKillop
“Lay all your cares about the future trustingly in God’s hands, and let yourself be guided by the Lord just like a little child.” Saint Edith Stein
“Do not have any anxiety about the future. Leave everything in God’s hands for He will take care of you.” Saint John the Baptist de La Salle
“Pray, hope, and don’t worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayers.” Saint Padre Pio
“I see that God never tries us beyond what we are able to suffer. Oh, I fear nothing; if God sends such great sufferings to a soul, He upholds it with an even greater grace, though we are not aware of it. One act of trust in such moments gives greater glory to God than whole hours passed in prayer filled with consolation.” Saint Faustina
“Anxiety is the greatest evil that can befall a soul except sin. God commands you to pray, but He forbids you to worry.” Saint Francis de Sales
“God is full of compassion and never fails those who are afflicted and despised, if they trust in Him alone.” Saint Teresa of Avila
“The greater and more persistent your confidence in God, the more abundantly you will receive all that you ask.” Saint Albert the Great
“The Holy Spirit leads us like a mother. He leads His child by the hand…as a sighted person leads a blind person.” Saint John Vianney
“Those whose hearts are enlarged by confidence in God run swiftly on the path of perfection. They not only run, they fly; because, having placed all their hope in the Lord, they are no longer weak as they once were. They become strong with the strength of God, which is given to all who put their trust in Him.” Saint Alphonsus Liguori
“A humble soul does not trust itself, but places all its confidence in God.” St. Faustina
“Faith is to believe what you do not see. The reward of faith is to see what you believe.” St. Augustine of Hippo
Trusting God means believing in His care for us even when evil seems to be gaining the upper hand — a point understood by the sixth-century abbot St. Stephen of Rieti. When a wicked man burned down the barns holding all the monastery’s corn, the monks exclaimed to Stephen, “Alas for what has come upon you!” The abbot answered, “No, say rather, ‘Alas for what has come upon him that did this deed,’ for no harm has befallen me.” As Stephen knew, God’s providential care is far greater than any human treachery. St. Stephen of Rieti
“A few acts of confidence and love are worth more than a thousand ‘Who knows? Who knows?’ Heaven is filled with converted sinners of all kinds, and there is room for more.” — St. Joseph Cafasso
