I listen to people that explain how life goes wrong. The list of how life goes wrong never seems to end. Usually, the outcome brings significant challenges which includes some form of loss, such as a relationship, health, and finances. There are elements of fear and faith within each individual.
Paul continually illustrated the tension we experience in this world throughout all of his writings. He listed things that occur when life goes wrong in 2 Corinthians 12:10 ending with a life-changing principle: "Whenever I am weak, then I am strong."
This principle works in every circumstance, including times when life goes wrong.
Any circumstance can be endured because of the empowering presence of God.
So, I receive for myself and give this prayer to you:
I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit (Ephesians 1:16, NRS)
Learning with you to learn how to live when life goes wrong,
Shalom,
Kerrie
