Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 3 - Chapter 1 - Verse 17

Sanskrit:

सृजतो मे क्षितिर्वार्भि:प्लाव्यमाना रसां गता ।अथात्र किमनुष्ठेयमस्माभि: सर्गयोजितै: ।यस्याहं हृदयादासं स ईशो विदधातु मे ॥ १७ ॥

ITRANS:

sṛjato me kṣitir vārbhiḥplāvyamānā rasāṁ gatāathātra kim anuṣṭheyamasmābhiḥ sarga-yojitaiḥyasyāhaṁ hṛdayād āsaṁsa īśo vidadhātu me

Translation:

Brahmā thought: While I have been engaged in the process of creation, the earth has been inundated by a deluge and has gone down into the depths of the ocean. What can we do who are engaged in this matter of creation? It is best to let the Almighty Lord direct us.

Purport:

The devotees of the Lord, who are all confidential servitors, are sometimes perplexed in the discharge of their respective duties, but they are never discouraged. They have full faith in the Lord, and He paves the way for the smooth progress of the devotee’s duty.
