About This Quote
Faith is the belief that God will do what is right. If we believe that God will do what we want, then we are relying on our own power and knowledge to get us out of life’s troubles. We might get lucky and things will work out, but we can never be certain. Faith, on the other hand, is the strength to believe in ourselves and trust in God’s plan for all of us.
