Habakkuk 3:16-19
Now what do you do when your life falls apart? Hey, what do you do when you get the report from the doctor that says you have cancer? What do you do when that spouse walks in and says, "I don't want to be married to you anymore?" What do you do when you go to work and they give you a pink slip, and they say, "You're no longer needed here anymore?" When you look at your checkbook and all it is a sea of red ink?
