1. Trust the God’s Character more than my circumstances.

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Psalm 119:105 (NASB95)

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

Isaiah 5:20 (NASB95)

Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy. Though I fall I will rise; Though I dwell in darkness, the LORD is a light for me.

Micah 7:8 (NASB95)

2. Desire God’s presence more than my comfort.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.

1 John 4:18 (NASB95)

3. Wait for God’s timing and stand with courage.

If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.

Daniel 3:17–18 (NASB95)
