Back in the old country, there was a Pastor who invested his life savings in timber. When a forest fire broke out & his finances literally went up in smoke, the Pastor’s friends worried about how to break the devastating news to him.
They hemmed & hawed until the Pastor said, “You’re
afraid to tell me about the fire, aren’t you?”
“You know?” they asked surprised.
“I found out about an hour ago.”
“And you’re not upset?” they asked.
“I was,” he answered, “I’m over it now.”
“It was only an hour ago!”
“Tell me,” said the Pastor, “Didn’t you once suffer a loss
by fire? Why aren’t you upset about it?”
“My fire was 10 years ago.”
“OK, so for you, it took 10 years. For me, it took an hour.
The point is we both got over it.”
The truth here is that it is not the passage of time itself
that heals but it is the right perspective that brings healing faster.

Pro 24:10 (GNT): “If you are weak in a crisis, you are weak
indeed.”
“Each of us may be sure that if God sends us on stony paths
He will provide us with strong shoes, and He will not send us on any journey
for which He does not equip us well.” -
Alexander MacLaren.
