There are things that happen in our lives that we can’t control.  Instead of falling apart, we need to give it over.  

James 1:2-4 ‘Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.  Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.’ Stay encouraged and wait on God.  

God is still favoring us, even in our affliction.

Meditate on God’s Word and feed your soul.  James 1:2-4 “2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
