The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times. - Rick Warren

Hope isn’t the denial of reality. It’s the belief that God is still writing the story.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. - Proverbs 3:5

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. - John 16:33
