Trusting God

"We must see our circumstances through God's love instead of, as we are prone to do, seeing God's love through our circumstances." Jerry Bridges in Trusting God Even When Life Hurts (1988)

Our focus should be on God and not on ourselves.

"It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.  They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."  Lamentations 3:22-23
