It’s hard to feel self-sufficient when you’re facing tough and painful circumstances, and that is a very good thing.
“Let me fly from myself and take refuge in Thee. . . . Let me distrust myself and put my trust in Thee.” St. Augustine
"[U]nder His wings you will find refuge. . . . You will not fear the terror of night or the arrow that flies by day. . . ." Psalm 91:4-5
