“What though the field be lost? All is not lost; the unconquerable will, ............. And the courage never to submit or yield.”

“Though the mills of God grind slowly; Yet they grind exceeding small; Though with patience he stands waiting, With exactness grinds he all.” ~ H.W. Longfellow (Retribution) Keep your faith up. It has nothing to do with visiting temple/church/mosque. It is believing in yourself and on the cause that you espouse. Your day too will come surely and certainly.....

Which is superior: fate or one’s own exertion and effort?
Three elements—fate, effort, and time—conjointly affect the course of one’s life. For example, a farmer, whose crop depends on three factors: planting, rain, and time. Planting represents effort, and rain represents fate. If the farmer plants but there’s no rain, he’ll have no crop. And if it rains but he hasn’t planted, he’ll have no crop. Both fate and effort are required, as is time.
We can't escape from fate, no matter how hard we try to escape :--
There was a merchant in Bagdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, Master, just now when I was in the market-place I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was death that jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture; now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there death will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the market place and he saw me standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, why did you make a threatening gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not a threatening gesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.
