When we believe in God and have trust in His fatherly providence and concern, then we do not think of ourselves.
Instead, we know that God is aware of all our needs and looks after our problems, from the simplest to the most serious one.
The only thing we must want is to allow God’s love and providence to function in our lives, when He wishes to and in the way He thinks is best for us.
When we have this kind of faith and inner disposition, we are able to see God’s miracles—God Himself—who is always close to us under all circumstances.
Elder Païsios of the Holy Mountain
