Refusing misery

Pain is inevitable for all of us, but we have an option as to how we react to the pain. It is no fun to suffer; in fact, it can be awful. We are all going to have pain, but misery is optional. We can decide how we react to the pain that inevitably comes to us all. A proper mental attitude works wonders in the midst of pain. If you take care of yourself and do all the things that you must do to keep it in control so that it doesn’t control you, you can live a happy, productive life.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will receive me. You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies and Your right hand will save me.  Psalm 138 : 7

I will mention the loving-kindness of the Lord and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord has bestowed on us.  Isaiah 63: 7a

What shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?  Romans 8 : 31 – 32
