OVERCOME

IF IT is raining outside, you may want it to stop, but you can’t control the rain. However, you can open an umbrella. An umbrella does not change the circumstances, but it changes you in the middle of the circumstances. The wetness is no longer controlling you.

God’s grace opens up an umbrella during the rainy seasons of life so that we may overcome and have the victory even when everything around us is wet.652
