Therefore we need to take lessons from this story, do not assume that our lives suffer the most so that we will easily give up when experiencing a problem, continue to believe in God in accordance with their respective beliefs by always praying and trying, God must have a plan beautiful for us so he tried it with disaster, whether we prefer to give up or even try to remain steadfast with the suffering given.
