When everything seems to be going just right,
When everything seems to be working together perfectly,
When it seems nothing stands in my way,
That nothing can hinder me,
That all things are in the perfect place at the perfect time,
Along comes the Word of God to humble me.
When I can’t seem to get it right,
When I feel useless and unworthy,
Hopeless and helpless,
Broken and bruised,
As though my life was predestined to be a series of horrid events,
Along comes the Word of God to strengthen me.
I’ve learned to depend upon His Word.

I just love to hear Selah sing the song by Ray Boltz, ‘Through it All.” It ministers to the heart of any situation I might find myself in. I’m copying the lyrics here, in hopes that it will minister to you as well.
I've had many tears and sorrows,
I've had questions for tomorrow,
There've been times I didn't know right from wrong:
But in every situation God gave blessed consolation
That my trials come to only make me strong.
Through it all, through it all,
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
I've learned to trust in God;
Through it all, through it all,
I've learned to depend upon His Word.
I've been to lots of places,
And I've seen a lot of faces,
There've been times I felt so all alone;
But in my lonely hours,
Yes, those precious lonely hours,
Jesus let me know that I was His own.
Through it all, through it all,
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
I've learned to trust in God;
Through it all, through it all,
I've learned to depend upon His Word.
I thank God for the mountains,
And I thank Him for the valleys,
I thank Him for the storms
He brought me through;
For if I'd never had a problem
I wouldn't know that He could solve them,
I'd never know what faith in God could do.
Through it all, through it all,
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
I've learned to trust in God;
Through it all, through it all,
I've learned to depend upon His Word.
