What Do You Do?

What do you do when it all starts falling apart? In you life. How do you cope? How do you trust God enough and rest in Him?

I hate suffering with a passion. What I hate with a passion even more is when a friend of mine is suffering and I can't help. What advice would you give someone who's life just seems to be falling apart at the seems? Any special Bible verses that comfort you in times of trouble?

  2. Joni Eareckson Tada, who has suffered immeasurably, refers to suffering as a sheep dog barking at her heels, "driving me down the road to Calvary, where otherwise I might not naturally be inclined to go."

    While no one ever wants to be in pain, and watching those we care about suffer can seem intolerable, the grounded and mature Christian will welcome pain as the vehicle which propels us to absolute dependence on God by stripping away every illusion we have of being sufficient in any way.
