We often have difficulty choosing a positive attitude when there is a crisis,a tragedy, or a challenging circumstances. Precisely what we need is a positive attitude and adaptability in the mind-set.
Maintaining a positive attitude in difficult times, demands us to have broad perception and to hang up our erroneous judgments. Our attitude is directly related to our perception and interpretation of events (always in favour of ourselves).
Recognize that all our experiences particularly the most difficult ones – gives us a starting points to learn and to grow in life. It is good to have this understanding during time of crisis. The best way to practice is to use applied faith.

Applied faith means that you are able to have a strong faith (during a difficult time) that there will be something good that will come your way- even if you cannot see it during crisis time.
Bible gives a wake call to our perplexed mind:
- “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me. Psalm 54:15
The verses may be of some help:
- “Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. Psalm 84:5-6.
- “It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn Thy statutes. Psalm 119:71
- “Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”Isaiah30:20-21
- “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
- "Consider it pure joy, …… whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James 1:2-6
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;I will guide you with My eye. Psalm 32:8
Nothing will harm you.
God be with you
