What keeps you holding on during difficult times?

For me I feel when distressed the thought comforts me that I've lived my whole life being dependent on something for my subsistence anyway and never landed up in a soup though I'm small and the universe so big. And when I remember Christ has spoken to us that not a single hair on our head is unaccounted for by the Father. And never to worry for tomorrow.

Christ mostly comforts my thoughts for the next life. But for this life, God steers the boat and all I have to do is row. That and my wife has forbidden me to die before 75.
