We all go through hard times; I think that is just a part of life. It is what we do, who we turn to during those times, that makes a big difference in our attitude for us.
For me, to turn to God, is an automatic, because I know God is with me always, in easy and hard times. I feel when I am walking the path with Jesus, sometimes He lets me run ahead, but other times He may have to push me a little. I know He brings "physical" beings to me in especially difficult times, because He knows what it means to be human and sometimes just need that human contact. But if i look real close, I will see Jesus within them, speaking, to me, the words that Jesus Himself would say if he were here physically. That is a true blessing to recognize this. I thank God for all His gifts to me.

Jeremiah 12:3
"You, Oh Lord, know me,You see me, You know that at heart, I am with You."
