And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever.—John 14:16 (ASV)
When trials and troubles overwhelm you, ask God for help. Trust that He will guide you through whatever comes your way. Remind yourself to keep perspective: in a week or a month, what seems to be a big problem right now is usually resolved and forgotten.
God, show me how to put my problems into perspective.
