"It is very good to mistrust ourselves, but what good will that do unless we place all our confidence in God and await his mercy?
And, even if we do not feel such confidence, we must not cease to make acts of confidence and say, 'Even though I have no feeling of confidence in you, I know that you are my God, that I am totally yours and have no hope except in your goodness; therefore I abandon myself entirely into your hands.' "
St Francis de Sales - from his Introduction to the Devout Life.
