Embrace Distress with Faith

Emotional distress is an integral part of life, often seen as a joke in the face of existence. The challenge lies not in controlling emotions but in aligning one's will with God's will, which is viewed as supreme and perfect in providing what is necessary for one's life. This acceptance fosters resilience, implying that one should face and deal with emotional challenges without demanding relief. Furthermore, unlike Stoicism, which accepts fate without divine attribution, Christianity emphasizes the need to love both the struggles and the divine source of those struggles, providing a personal connection with God as a Father, who is understood in a relational context absent in Stoicity.
