Philippians 1:27-30 NKJV

[27] Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, [28] and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God. [29] For to you, it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him but also to suffer for His sake, [30] having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.

None of us can control the world around us. We can make decisions to avoid certain problems, but we will still face problems nonetheless. I know I can't control the bad, but I have complete control over my attitude towards it.

I believe God can be glorified in every situation. Worship comes easy when times are good, but there is something very special about choosing to worship in the middle of the struggle. We don't get to choose what happens, but we do get to decide how to respond.
