Part of resilience is accepting the disappointments in life and trusting God in them.       
有时, there are obstacles to overcome (need perseverance in overcoming) and sometimes there is a "NOT that path" or "NOT yet" to accept (need perseverance in living with that NO). Whichever NO we discern, we can build our faith and resilience by trusting and praising God.
