Questions for introspection
 What will be your reaction in such
  situations? Will you sulk or be confident?
 Would you still fear and love the LORD?
 Whom do you prefer to trust, people
  around or Lord Jesus?
 Do you plan to go on without quitting till
  the Lord accomplishes His plans for your
  life?
