"I've never asked God to make my life easy, only that he make me strong."
What do your prayers consist of? Are you always asking God for material things? For Him to get you that job, bring you that contract, get you out of that jam? When's the last time you asked God to increase your strength, your character, your focus, your perspective, your patience?
People fail to realize that your problems don't typically have anything to do with your lack of possessions or even your health. Your problems have everything to do with your ability to handle them and your perspective on your situation. Perspective and strength change everything.
This doesn't mean that your life will be exactly as you hoped it would, but it does mean that whatever life throws at you, you'll be able to face it head on with renewed tenacity.
Ask God to increase your strength - mentally. When your mindset is right, you become more in control; when you are more in control, your circumstances will begin to change.
