Well, hello there, my friends. I hope you're doing well today, but I know some of you most

likely are tuning in today because you are in the pit. You're in the darkness. It's hard for you right now.

And one of the phrases that has helped me throughout the year, and I don't know whoever said this,

but they said, don't doubt when you're in the darkness what you have seen clearly when you were

in the light. Friends, today we're going to be talking about that, what we should be thinking about

and how we should be considering those times we're in the depths of suffering.

Where should we be putting our minds?

We're going to get our minds aligned with the truth of God's word from 1. Peter 5, 10 through 11 today.

So get out your Bibles or your Morning Miseset journals and follow along.

Well, today's episode is provided through the generous donation of Morning Mindset listener,

Deborah, who is sponsoring today's episode in memory of her dad, Ed. Well, Deborah, thank you so

much for supporting the morning mindset. And thank you for letting us know about your fondness for

your dad and the loss. We're sorry for the loss. And we want to pray for you and for your dad today.

Friends, if you would like to be a sponsor of an episode of the Morning Mindset, like Deborah did,

you can do so in your name. You can do it anonymously.

You can even do it in memory of someone just as she did.

So go to morning mindsetmedia.com slash daily sponsor to find out how you can do that.

All right, friends, let's pray as we begin today's episode.

Our father, we are grateful for the meaningful life and effect that Ed had on Debra.

We're grateful that she's able to honor him today and honor you for the work

you've done in his life through this sponsorship. Lord God, we pray that you would help all of us,

whether we are in times of grief or times of suffering of some other sort, to get our minds aligned
