The Lord is my strength

I recently lost my job of 8 years as a nursery nurse, I was so upset becasue I loved my job so much. I felt like digging a hole and burying myself in it. But instead of suffocating myself with dirt i decided to give my heart, soul and worries to God. My family and friends were a huge support in this time and with their encourgement I have been able to overcome this challenge. But more importantly God has been my strength through this challenging time, I have felt his prescence through these hard times as I have held on to him through prayer. I have learnt that through prayer I can do all things! One friend made the point that through this trial I have learnt not to do things in my own strength but to lean on God instead.
Bible verses which have been particulalry meaningful to me have been:

"Don't worry about anything: instead pary about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4: 6-7

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is the Father who is full of mercy and all comfort. He comforts us every time we have trouble, so when others have trouble, we can comfort them with the same comfort God gives us. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
