Finding hope in adversity requires turning to God rather than worldly solutions. The Transfiguration story teaches us three principles for navigating difficult times: seek solitude with God until you experience His presence, listen carefully to what He tells you during these moments, and patiently wait for His timing while trusting in eventual victory. When storms come, we must anchor ourselves to Jesus Christ, meditating on His presence, power, and purpose. Our response to suffering ultimately determines whether it shadows, shatters, or strengthens our faith.
