At risk of revealing my ultimate nerdiness and being a little cliche, honestly the following verse from LOTR is one of my mainstays for dealing with difficult times.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
Not a religious scripture to be sure, but some things touch me in a deep way.
