You should always approach life's trials through four steps:
Be aware of God's presence.
He promised to be with us wherever we go, and it is out of Himself--out of sheer Truth--that He speaks. Former pastor Dr. Henry Blackaby states in Experiencing God that "God speaks to you through His Holy Spirit, the Bible, circumstances, and the church to reveal Himself, His purposes, and His ways."
Draw from God's strength.
In 2 Corinthians 12:8-10, the apostle Paul explains how he had learned to be contentin whatever state he encountered because the Lord had told him, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness."
Yield to His purpose.
If you believe God is sovereign--and as a Christian you must--then you know that nothing is happenstance. He has a reason for everything.
Meditate on His Word.
If you're seeking answers, open the Bible and let the Lord tell you that you've come to the right place.
No matter what comes against us, trust in the LORD, have courage and he will give us the strength you need to get through the trials and tribulations we all face and help you understand the purpose of the trial.
Deuteronomy 31:6
