No matter what people do to me they are not going to control my life. C. Be independent of circumstances. This peace is knowing that through thick and thin, God is working in your life. Christian contentment doesn't necessarily mean the difficult situations will get better. This is basing contentment on the situation, and not on God.
Realists know that some situations never improve.
The secret lies in our spiritual life with God. Words cannot fully express our keen disappointment when our little girl failed to experience normal human development. We have come through our trials bigger and better Christians and with a new and brighter testimony.
