Guidance is always needed and you've add good tools when facing adversity.

In the foundations of my spiritual practice that began over 45 years ago I came to see that the adversity of hard-times is the best teacher. Each time I've dipped into challenges I've been faced with dozens of "dislikes" each of whom as a teacher and an opportunity to connect with the divine / my Higher Self. It requires only a slight alteration in assumptions and thinking to include the hard times - with "I can handle it." I don't have to handle it all at once, in fact it may be one nanosecond at a time. And that's okay.
