As soon as you start praising God for all He's done, along comes Mr. devil trying to steal your joy. No sooner did I thank the Lord for answering specific prayers then along comes another "crisis". Nothing is ever in-between with us; it's all out warfare or straight up peace.
One thing I've learned in my short time as a believer (and this is what got my attention in the beginning) is that God can handle it all, whereas I can't handle a simple task on my own. Whatever I try to do on my own - no matter how grandiose my plan or how well-executed it is, somehow it will not turn out as I expected.
God puts us through challenges in life to strengthen our character and to give us knowledge to help others at a later time. So what do I do? I'm not going to get depressed & start worrying about it. I pass along the vital info for others to agree with me in prayer, turn it over to God (asking him to help me deal with the situation gracefully), thank Him for his kindness towards me, and wait for His reply.
