“For if a person does not put his trust in G-d, he places his trust in what is other than G-d. (Their doctors, their own cleverness, etc.) And whoever trusts in what is other than G-d, G-d removes His providence from him and leaves him in the hands of whatever he trusted in.” (R’ Bachya ibn Paquda, “Duties of the Heart”)
