Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again-rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned from me and heard from me and saw me doing, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philipians 4:4-9

The Love of God
Imagine a place on the earth that never saw the sun. Day in, day out, it is covered with thick clouds. From the time a person was born until the time he died he never saw even a glimpse of the sun. Suppose you visited this place and tried to convince the inhabitants of the reality, the beauty, and the power of the sun. “Where I come from,” you say, “a huge yellow ball rises up over the sea each day and floats across the sky, no strings attached, giving warmth and light to those upon the earth. The reason you don’t experience it is because you are cut off from it by the clouds.” Although the thought may seem fantastic to those people, the fact that they don’t believe in it does not change the reality that it exists.
The Bible and All it Contains
A young man once received a letter from a lawyer stating that his grandmother had left him an inheritance. To his astonishment, it was $50,000 plus “my Bible and all it contains.”
The youth was delighted to receive the money. However, he knew what the Bible contained, and because he wasn’t into religion he didn’t bother to open it. Instead, he put it on a high shelf. He gambled the $50,000, and over the next fifty years he lived as a pauper, scraping for every meal. Finally he became so destitute, he had to move in with his relatives. When he cleaned out his room, he reached up to get the dusty old Bible from the shelf. As he took it down, his trembling hands dropped it onto the floor, flinging it open to reveal a $100 bill between every page.
The man had lived as a pauper, simply because of his prejudice. He thought he knew what the Bible “contained.”

Two things. And as I am not Christian, I hope they help nonetheless. From Annie...
"The Sun will come out, tomorrow,
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow,
There'll be Sun.
Just thinking about, tomorrow,
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorry,
'Til there's none.
When I'm stuck with a day, that's gray and lonely,
I just stick out my chin, and grin, and say...
Oh, the Sun will come out, tomorrow,
So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow,
Come what may,
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow,
You're only a day away."
Also, a great quote that I use from time to time. "Don't sweat the small stuff. It's ALL small stuff!"
And finally...
You are the creator of your own reality. From that point of view, from that mind-set, what can you do "right now" that will change this bad day into a good one?
Good luck! And,
Blessed Be.

Mav have a song:
Praise you in This Storm by Casting Crowns
I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say “Amen”, and it’s still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
Chorus:
I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
Chorus:
(2x’s)
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The maker of Heaven and Earth
Chorus:

2 Timothy 3:12-15
12In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
13while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,
15and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
Basically this tells us that sometimes evil or difficulties will come our way but God has provided a way for us to be wise (so satan can't deceive us as he has the evil ones) so we might have salvation.
Keep your eye and mind on the greater reward.

To begin...
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned, forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.
Luke 6:37
To continue...
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat...We must find each other.
Mother Teresa
Going on...
A woman is like a teabag. It's only when she's in hot water that you realize how strong she is.

I hope it helps

I hope this will help your day and lift your Spirit. Here goes: Jesus says, Think of Me often and I will Give You Peace.
Another one is: I can do all things through Christ who Strengthens ME. Just think of Jesus and He will help you through your rough times. I will pray for you tonight and the day light is always better , tommorrow. Take care and may God bless you and yours, and lift your Spirit. Always !!
