Only when you know who you are you able to discern what is real and what is not. This can only be done by the Holy Spirit guiding you through this world of illusions. Illusions are made up by Ego to keep you confused and far from Truth. Because you've lost your way, you believe what your eyes tell you which explains your constant fear, worry, unhappiness, anger, distress, etc. When your focus is on God (by living in gratitude) the Holy Spirirt will show you (through your spiritual eyes) that "trials and tribulations" are not to be seen as punishment but as opportunities rather, to allow God to have His way in it (pssst! He is the one in control anyway, remember?)
Hold on to the one and only thing that will sustain you through the storm. Peace. Prolonged periods in the state of Peace threatens Ego's existence which is when it's most desperate and dangerous. Do not bother with that, any acknowledgement is all Ego needs to disturb your Peace and rock your world upside down!
No matter how difficult and/or uncomfortable a situation may seem, remember what you know to be true, "this too shall pass". Put your faith in knowing you are blessed with the precious gift of life and precisely because it's a gift from God, it is priceless! Show your gratitude for being alive by being grateful for every moment for this is how you honor God.
Let go of what continues to cause you pain and suffering yet no longer matters (the past.) Let go of what you are encouraged to plan for but not worry about (future), considering God is the only one Who knows better than you what is better for you! Hold on, it's only a test! Remember that and you will experience Peace no matter what life keeps throwing your way! Peace
