From the tao te ching;

Receiving fortune is
Receiving a trial,
Receiving misfortune is
Receiving grace.

I have found,in my own life, that when I receive what I consider “misfortune” it is usually a gift from God,in disguise, as it forces me to dig deeper in myself and unearth the hidden wisdom/fortitude/understanding that resolves the issue and brings me to an even better state.
