Be patient...

It may be easier said than done, but nothing is more responsive to tests from God and to a time full of peril than sabr (patience) and acceptance, and to always correlate the consequences of your troubles to the moral of the coming of night, that:

1 -  without the night, no star will be visible, and

2 - no matter what, darkness will go away and brighter days will return.

I believe it is a mark of the faithful to have this to hope for. A wise man once said that "until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words: 'Wait and Hope'." I will add to that and say do what you reasonably can, wait, and hope.
