Learning to live above your circumstances, on each path that you choose, is to accept each day just as it comes, and find God in the midst of it all.
Remember, that your ultimate goal is not to control or fix everything around you; it is to seek to know what God is saying for the path that you are on. Ask for God's Spirit to guide you moment by moment.
Pray continually (I Thessalonians 5:17)
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:6)
