Life

I want to know how it's possible one day to be not crushed, not in despair, not forsaken, not destroyed one day and the very next day to be hard-pressed, perplexed, persecuted, struck down. Where am I going wrong to let this happen to me? I want to be continually content with my state of being, continually living unto death for Jesus' sake.

For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
