"You know that if you get in the water and have nothing to hold on to, but try to behave as you would on dry land, you will drown. But if, on the other hand, you trust yourself to the water and let go, you will float. And this is exactly the situation of faith."

All this trying leads up to the vital moment at which you turn to God and say, "You must do this. I can't.”
