When stuff goes wrong, people love to 'find' the problem, like when Paul was bitten by the snake - those around said, "Aha, he must be a murderer".  When stuff goes wrong, be like the disciples as they left the prison rejoicing that they were consider trustworthy to be tested in their faith.  Like James writes, Count it all joy ... when you fall into various trials and temptations ... knowing that He is committed to our transformation.  

Well said Julie, it is in these times, times you cant control, times you are tempted to sit down and cry that, if you will look up, you will see a gracious and loving Saviour who is acquainted with our weakness and walking alongside He says: "In this world you will have trouble, but Take Courage, for I have overcome the world"  That is my Saviour.  He did not come to condemn, but to overcome.  Praise His Holy Name, Jesus!
