The thought behind the quote
The emotions we experience are deeply tied to the beliefs that we hold. When we are driven by fear—fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of being hurt—negative emotions like anxiety, anger, and frustration take root. But when we choose to place our hope and trust in God, faith begins to drive our emotions, leading to peace, joy, and strength. Positive emotions are restful emotions. True rest is found in God alone, and our hope comes from Him. This means we don’t have to rely on our own ability to control everything; instead, we can rest in the knowledge that God is in control.
