Scriptures:

““His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’“ – Matthew 25:23 (NIV)

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. “ – 3 John 2 (NKJV)

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.“ – Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

Hold Yourself Accountable:

Acknowledge that sickness and grief are a part of life and you must prepare to properly respond to them.

Apply the Kingdom Principle:

“For,

“Whoever would love life
    and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
    and their lips from deceitful speech.
¹¹They must turn from evil and do good;
    they must seek peace and pursue it.
¹²For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
    and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”“ – 1 Peter 3:10-12 (NIV)
