You can dwell on the bad things that are happening or you can choose to dwell on the good things that are happening.
This will get you through the bad times. You need to focus on those things that are good. Remember these things when things are going bad.
Grace has two meanings in the Bible. One is something for nothing. Mercy you don't deserve; unmerited favor. Grace also means the ability to endure. God says, I will ...
