"It's really just a matter of faith. You'll either survive it, if the Lord is willing, or not. So there's nothing that you can do, and you just take it." - WWII American soldier
It's interesting how close the words "fate" and "faith" are in sound (they are derived from different Latin roots though: fatum meaning "to have spoken" vs. fides meaning "to trust"). Our faith in God is to trust our fate in God's hands. Whether that's on the beaches of Guadacanal in 1942, or in far lesser conflicts in our own circumstance.
