Though poisitive outlooks are helpful, we want to find God's ways of dealing with the storms of life. Unfortunately, many people are overcome by storms. On the other hand, God offers strength to each one to overcome life's battles. If I'm criticized about the same thing many times, then I need to ask if it's valid. Loving friends are often very helpful in this evaluation.
Nobody is trouble-free.
God's people are not exempt. When faced with troubles, we often turn to God and see Him more clearly or in a new way. He often molds our life through trouble. God has given us life in a world filled with change. He's waiting to aid you through the change.
