Whatever hath
befallen you, hath been for the sake of God. This is the truth, and in this
there is no doubt. You should, therefore, leave all your affairs in His Hands,
place your trust in Him, and rely upon Him. He will assuredly not forsake you.
In this, likewise, there is no doubt. No father will surrender his sons to
devouring beasts; no shepherd will leave his flock to ravening wolves. He will
most certainly do his utmost to protect his own.
