"Too often, we identify with our situation or circumstance. If we fill our hearts and minds with God's Word, and have truly been transformed into a new creation, we might find that our challenging circumstance is the very thing we need to fully surrender to God. When viewed from that perspective, something originally seen as a nightmare becomes an instant blessing lasting eternally."
