תהילים כ״ז:א
Of David. Hashem is my light and my help whom should I fear? Hashem is the stronghold of my life, whom should I dread?
-Psalms 27:1
And, because God is his light, he is able to find many openings from which to depart the darkness and exile in which he is enclosed. For the truth is that there are many openings there.
-Likutei Moharan 112:1:7
One who comes in order to become impure, i.e., to sin, they, in Heaven, provide him with an opening to do so, and he is not prevented from sinning. If one comes in order to become purified, not only is he allowed to do so, but they, in Heaven, assist him.
-Talmud Avodah Zarah 55a:10
