Life is full of ups and downs.
Sometimes, everything is perfect and things are going how we want them to.At this time, we are happy and full of enthusiasm. On the other hand, we may encounter challenges. They make our lives difficult, dark, dreary and even scary. Examples of such challenges are losing your job, breaking up with someone you loved, getting sick or losing a friend or family member. 
These are brutal experiences that can knock the wind out of your sails. While we may want to simply panic, run or lose all hope, it is during such times that we should cultivate peace of mind. It is the time to press forward and focus on what keeps us at peace. 

At difficult times;
●Forgive those who hurt you
●Pray to God andoes cast your cares and burdens upon Him
●Remember that God is with you and you are not alone
●Check yourself and remember that everything will be alright eventually
●Trust God to help you handle the situation 
●Face your discomfort with the word of God

At certain times, it might seem impossible to find a few moments of peace in your life. If you have a lot of responsibilities or worries, you may feel caught in a whirlwind of trying to get things done while trying to deal with problems or your own complex emotions. Other people impact your sense of peace too, when they ask you to do more than you feel you can handle comfortably or when they cause additional issues.
The good news is, no matter how  difficult your external life is, you can add healing peace to each day through the word of God. Study the word and relive yourself in the hope that it brings. The trying times may last a little longer but you can always be sure to scale through. Meditate on Phil 4: 6-7;

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
