I have absolutely no doubt that if you are a praying Christian, your faith in God is what is carrying you, through both the good times and the hard times.

In a culture where the possibility of wealth and the acquisition of things is so defining of success, we end up pursuing things that, even if we are successful, can never deliver what we envisioned they would.
