The trials we face today are not walls\u2014they are only thresholds; walk through each one with courage. Every step taken in faith draws us closer to the quiet victory prepared for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut they that hope in the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall take wings as eagles: they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.\u201d (Isaiah 40:31, LXX)<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us then, my brethren, endure in hope. Let us devote ourselves, side\u2011by\u2011side with our hoping, so that the God of all the universe, as He beholds our intention, may cleanse us from all sins, fill us with high hopes from what we have in hand, and grant us the change of heart which saves. God has called you, and you have your calling.\u201d (St. Cyril of Jerusalem)<\/p>\n
