It's a lot easier to live in ignorance or outright denial if it means that you won't worry or feel upset. "I'm going to pretend this isn't happening even though it really is;" "This isn't really happening. It is what I say it is." But, it's not the truth. The truth tells you what's real and not, and then you can either deal with it or not. If you are willing to deal with reality then God will help you to cope if you turn to Him.

Matthew 19:26 "Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'"

Matthew 10:29-31 "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."

Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose."

Romans 10:13 "for, 'Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved.'"

Philippians 4:13 "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength."

Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

1 Peter 5:6-7 "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."
