Do not think that you will be set free by things which are harmful. You do not know what is good for you in the way that God does. Therefore, give yourselves to him who holds the key to the universe. For even if you ask nothing but merely groan under the impulse of the grace that dwells in you, he handles your affairs wisely and will ensure that you get what you need.
–Saint Theodoret of Cyrus (c. 393-457)
