“When human aid fails us, all is not wanting; for God takes over and takes care of us by His special Providence.”

“When all shall fail us, then God will take care of us, and then all will not fail us since we shall have God.”

“When we abandon all to Him, He takes a tender care of us, and His Providence for us is great or small according to the measure of our abandonment.”

“When we look to God as provider, we are surrendering our independence and trusting someone else to meet our needs, over which we have no control. Letting go of our ‘dependence on independence’ and letting someone else take control goes against natural human instinct. We need to fight the urge to take over and just let God be God, because He can provide for us better than we can.”

“When I want to take God at his word exactly, I take a peep out the window at His creation. Because that, darling, He makes fresh for us everyday...”

“our feelings are signals that can provide us with the information we need to take care of ourselves appropriately”
