7. Trust God. Always.

“God delights to increase the faith of His children...I say, and say it deliberately--trials, difficulties and sometimes defeat, are the very food of faith...We should take them out of His hands as evidences of His love and care for us in developing more and more that faith which He is seeking to strengthen in us.” George Mueller https://www.sermonillustrations.com/a-z/f/faith.htm
