I once read a story about how a Nazi caught a Yid putting on tfilin in the concentration camps. Not content with simply punishing the Yid, the Nazi ym"sh wanted to degrade him and completely demean him, so he asked, "Why do you even bother? Can't you see that your G-d has forsaken you?"
The Yid answered with a few simple but oh so powerful words, "Not completely and not forever."
These 5 words are worth memorizing to use as a mantra in the most difficult times:
Not completely and not forever!
