Being Positive in Times of Tribulation

We often wonder why things in our life go wrong for no apparent reason. We search our hearts for anything that has caused unrest or disharmony and contemplate the source of our problems. Did I mistreat someone, am I working wholeheartedly, have I failed to recognize the grace of a Higher Power? If you are going through a trial in your life, be encouraged and realize that this may be a way to develop your spiritual life. Being blessed is not a matter of how good you have been, but the result of grace and lessons that teach you to endure and build character. At the moment you feel discouraged say to yourself "I will NOT be overcome by fear and disappointment, for this storm shall pass. I have victory in knowing that I WILL BE stronger, wiser, and closer to the Source of my help. Although trouble may be knocking at my door, I will not answer for it shall not come in. Where there is doubt, I shall say trust. Where there is frustration, I shall say peace. Where there is weariness, I shall say endure. Because I know that despite my circumstances, I am covered in Love and Mercy." Be encouraged everyone
