Answer 1

I had gone to get my tooth removed as it got damaged due to a cavity infection and it was the most painful experience of my life. I remember the whole day i was crying as there was sheer pain in my mouth. Even during teh surgery, it pained like hell, but i tried to distract myself by thinking about God as he is the one who gaves me strength in all situations.I feel so much comfortable to just depend on him for all my worries and have this satisfaction there is someone overlooking us from the back and no matter how hard it gets, he will be there. This really gave be peace. It is our internat strength of morals and character that we use to better ourself in life and advance for the better.
