Keep your faith in check. Make sure that you pray every day and not just when crisis strikes. Develop a deep connection with God. Share your fears and worries and ask for help with solutions before problems spiral out of control.

“I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.”—Isaiah 44:22 (NIV)
