When something is causing you heartache, ask God to help you through it. Remind yourself that from the perspective of a week or a month, a nagging problem usually vanishes from your mind. When trials and troubles overwhelm you, trust Him.
Lord, show me how to put my problems into perspective.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.—2 Corinthians 1:3–4 (NIV)
The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.—Proverbs 19:8 (NIV)
One person pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.—Proverbs 13:7 (NIV)
