SHAKE, RATTLE, AND ROLL
When life "shakes, rattles, and rolls" you with unexpected trials, you need reasurrance that things will get better. Though I don't have all the answers to life's problems, I know one thing I should do no matter what happens.
Read the Bible and pray every day. Pretty simple, huh? It will lift you out of despair. The following three verses are good examples.
Psalm 13:17 The righteous cry, and The Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19. Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but The Lord delivereth him out of them all.
Therein is your strength, comfort, and hope.
