1 Peter 4:19, "Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator." We must be set on a course of well doing, coming out of sin. Without the faithfulness of God we are doomed. It is God's backing and support that makes for success. We have the backing of a faithful creator. Psalm 37:25, "I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread."
