Adversity

When faced with adversity, use the following reasoning.

I realize that every adversity that has befallen me carries with it an equivalent or greater benefit that I will find if I have the courage to look.
I have collected my thoughts, whenever I suffered a setback and I’ve
Asked myself, “what possible good can be extracted form my misfortune?”
The scales of life always return to center, and if one door closes to me,
God will open another.
I will never abandon hope, I will always look for the seed of good in every adversity.

A Prayer For Grieving Families
As ministers of Jesus Christ, our living Lord,
we are privileged to bear His comfort to those
families that are grieving in their time of sorrow at the
loss of their loved one. Our hearts and our
prayers go out to all of the members of this
family, may God be with you.

John 14:1-6

Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in Me.
In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would
have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself; that
where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the
way ye know. Thomas saith unto Him, Lord, we know not whither Thou
goest; and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man
cometh unto the Father, but by Me.
A Prayer For Those Who Are Troubled

God, You stand with us in times present; You carry us through many hardships; You shield us from danger over and over again. Thank You, thank You for allowing us to lay our needs before You now. We ask for Your help, Father, we are perplexed and afraid. We do not know which way to turn. You, Holy Spirit, are our help when we are weak. You search our hearts and answer our petitions that we bring before You. You understand and answer our prayers even when we do not know how or what to pray for. God, we seek the courage to face all situations before us. We ask for wisdom to see the way that is right and for the strength and courage to choose the right way to go. Lord grant us the strength to endure. We know that You will not allow us to be defeated; we know that we can be victorious through You. We pray that the peace that surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts and minds. Through Christ we pray. Amen.
