Take a moment and think about your life. What personal trials, disasters, or setbacks have you had to overcome? Were there moments you thought you couldn't possibly persevere through?

The Book of Jeremiah is quite possibly the best against-all-odds story ever written and can help you see how to overcome your sorrows.
