God is love.

Do not look for rest in any pleasure, because you were not created for pleasure: You were created for spiritual JOY. And if you do not know the difference between pleasure and spiritual joy, you have not yet begun to live. Thomas Merton

Bad breaks are not at all what you assume they are. Having a negative response to an event, you assume the negativity is in the event when it is only in your negative response. But you don't see this. By breaking your habitual negativity, the same events could happen, but would not be seen as bad breaks. Vernon Linwood Howard

A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities,
and
an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.
Harry Truman

When you seem to see some twisted form of the original error rising to frighten you, say only, 'God is not fear, but Love,' and it will disappear." ACIM Ch.18.I.7

Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom. Hannah Arendt
