Ruth said that in the situations people had told her about last week, there were no obvious easy answers, and so we learn bit by bit to trust God in them:
- The person facing illness and perhaps little chance of getting better.
- The person who could not see any more purpose for themselves.
- Most of us who recognise we are well off and see poverty elsewhere.
Ruth said how we could trust God in these situations... By acting on the responsibility we feel.
