Which two sentences in the excerpt from “The Elves and the Shoemaker” by the Brothers Grimm suggest that the shoemaker has faith in God?

There was once a shoemaker, who worked very hard and was very honest: but still he could not earn enough to live upon; and at last all he had in the world was gone, save just leather enough to make one pair of shoes. Then he cut his leather out, all ready to make up the next day, meaning to rise early in the morning to his work. His conscience was clear and his heart light amidst all his troubles; so he went peaceably to bed, left all his cares to Heaven, and soon fell asleep. In the morning after he had said his prayers, he sat himself down to his work; when, to his great wonder, there stood the shoes all ready made, upon the table. The good man knew not what to say or think at such an odd thing happening. He looked at the workmanship; there was not one false stitch in the whole job; all was so neat and true, that it was quite a masterpiece.

The first sentence is that begins with his conscience was clear... and ends with he left all his cares to heaven. That is a common suggestion when one prays, that is, leaving all our cares to heaven. Somewhere the Bible says that we should put our problems in God's hands.

The second sentence confirms the one above. The second sentence begins "in the morning, after he had said his prayers ... "
