How to Survive and Heal Difficult Times

The first thing that comes to mind is be brutally honest with God about whatever difficulty you're facing. I realized through reading the Psalms, hearing the Psalms that one of the best ways for us to come to God with our issues is to be brutally honest. The next verse said, these things happen, these difficulties happen in order that I would rely more on God and less on myself. Did I love it in the moment? No. Do I love that I'm closer to God now? A hundred percent.
