The answer is found in a close abiding relationship with Jesus Christ. Chances are when adversity strikes, one of the first things you do is to wonder why. The second thing may be to question what kind of impact it will have on your life. Reactions such as these are normal, but there needs to be another response included, and that is to turn to the One who holds all comfort and security firmly within His grasp. Ask yourself when you were a child who brought the greatest sense of security into your life.
Chances are it was a parent, grandparent or another significant individual.
It was here, in times of reaching out and finding a firm hand to which you could hold on to, that you experienced security and peace. As we grow, we find that life is not always this predictable. There are sorrows and tragedies built into the framework of our existence. If our peace and security are only within ourselves or some other person, when trials come there is a greater chance we will experience disappointment. N o one, outside of God, is equipped to handle the problems we face today.
